Using gdb with remote sources
Hi, I'm mostly developing C++ applications with g++ on solaris 10, x64 boxes. These applications are built and deployed with symbols, but without sources on the remote site. When debugging you can then set breakpoints and inspect variables, but you have to "manually" map the reported line numbers to an editor (usually vim/gvim) where yo...
gdb debugger in xcode doesn't work
I'm trying to use direct commands to gdb through xcode's console window when the program is paused. But the (gdb) prompt just accepts the carriage returns, and does nothing. Has anyone encountered this? I'm on the latest version of Mac OS X (10.6.2) with the XCode 3.2 beta. ...

How do I get GDB to break out of a loop?
I can tell GDB to return from a function immediately with return, and call a function with call myFunction. But how do I get it break out of the current loop? i.e. to act as if it's hit a break; statement. Is jump myfile.c:<linenumber> the way to do this? ...
How to attach VC++ debugger (or gdb) in this situation?
I'm running a typical producer and consumer process, but they are executed by using pipe in the command line like the following: c:\>producer | consumer producer is just printing out data to stdout, and consumer reads from stdin. My problem is that I want to debug consumer process. What is the best way to do it in both VC++ and gdb? ...
Saving debugging state and backwards debugging with Xcode or friends
Hi, I am using Xcode in order to debug C++ programs. The main problem for me is that it takes around 10 munutes till the program gets to the point of the program that I need to debug. Then I realize about something inspecting the variables and some other stuff, and modify the code. Then 15 minutes again and so ... I wonder if there is ...
automatically skipping/ignoring external code in gdb
anybody know how to tell gdb to only enter code that is in your project? I know it's hard for a debugger to know what is "in the project" and what is a library....but I thought some naive checks could help, eg don't look in any files that aren't in the users home directory. I frequently have code like this: MyFunction(complexVarable, co...

I need to debug a certain set of commands each time i invoke gdb - so I decided to put them in my .gdbinit.

My script looks is as follows: define setup handle SIGTRAP noprint nostop br 'Class1::Fun1(voi...
gdb fails with error 193 when debugging MinGW-compiled code
This is shown when I try to debug my code with Eclipse: I then tried creating a simple Hello World program manually with Notepad++ and the command-line gcc. When I launched the gdb debugger this happened: (gdb) run Starting program: C:\Documents and Settings\Pieter\Bureaublad/test.exe Error creating process C:\Documents...
Setting a breakpoint on a member function called on a specific object
In gdb, is it possible to set a breakpoint on a member function called on a specific object? To be more specific, imagine class A has a member function Foo(). I'd like the program to stop when Foo is called on a specific object of type A (0xFF11DEADBEAF for example). Is this at all possible? ...
gdb: howto list open files
I am wondering if it might be possible to get a list of files/directories that the debugged application has opened but not closed from GDB itself ? Currently I set a breakpoint and then I use an external program like lsof to check for opened files. But this approach is really annoying. Environment: Debian-Lenny with gdb v6.8 EDIT: I ...
Shared library debug in forked process
How can I debug a shared library in the this case: A daemon is checking which job is set to run, if find one, the daemon will fork a process. This process will do dlopen/dlsym etc to use the shared library. The shared library is under my control so I can put one with debug information. While the daemon is not under my control and canno...

GCC option that can cause trouble when debugging with GDB
Hi all, I was wondering if I can get a list of gcc option that can cause gdb to behave strange. Of course, we all know that using optimization options (-O3 for instance) causes weird behaviour in gdb, but what are the other options that can have such impact? (I'm currently trying to run an mpeg2 decoder in gdb and I get weird behaviou...
Variable name conflict with GDB debugger
I'm debugging a C++ program with GDB on Linux, and I need to see the value of a member variable while the program is running. The member variable, unfortunately, is named list, which happens to be a GDB keyword. So when I try: print m_operations.m_data[10].m_data.list I get... A syntax error in expression, near list'. I tried all s...
