| RE: [dsdp-dd-dev] Source lookup and remote debugging launch sequence |
Hi there,
I've
started the investigation about breakpoints and source lookup and I have found
that the command sequence
below is maybe a
good approach for remote debugging. What do you think?
This is the output from a manual GDB session:
==================================
C:\dev\workspace\GDB-test>"c:\Program\CodeSourcery\SourceryG++\bin\arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gdb.exe"
--interpreter=mi
~"GNU gdb (CodeSourcery
Sourcery G++ Lite 2007q3-51) 6.6.50.20070821-cvs\n"

(gdb)
-file-exec-and-symbols
C:\\dev\\workspace\\GDB-test\\Threads
^done
(gdb)
-gdb-set sysroot
C:\Program\CodeSourcery\SourceryG++\arm-none-linux-gnueabi\libc
^done
(gdb)
-target-select remote 192.168.0.10:12345
^connected,thread-id="0",frame={addr="0x400007c0",func="_start",args=[],from="C:\\Program\\CodeSourcery\\SourceryG++\\arm-none-linux-gnueabi\\libc/lib/ld-linux.so.3"}
(gdb)
-break-insert C:\dev\workspace\GDB-test\Threads.cpp:24
^done,bkpt={number="1",type="breakpoint",disp="keep",enabled="y",addr="0x00008a84",func="printMsg(void*)",file="Threads.cpp",fullname="C:\\dev\\workspace\\GDB-test/Threads.cpp",line="24",times="0"}
(gdb)
==================================
Notice the number of backslashes needed to get things to work for "-file-exec-and-symbols" command.
What I think is important regarding
breakpoints:
1. It looks loke the gdb
MI interface for CodeSourcery accepts inserting breakpoints using
backslash
2. There's a file and a
fullname attribute in the response for the -break-insert command, possibly
useful for source lookup.
I'll go on debugging the eclipse frameworks to see where the breakpoint insertion fails in the code, but first patching the current launch to something like above.
Cheers,
Tobias
