GDB Fails after a Brief Period

[kaosad]

Hi,

I am using the latest version of MSYS2 MINGW64 (namely GCC 7.3.0, found here https://www.msys2.org/). I am able to launch GDB from Quick Debug under Codelite version 12.0.3 (from here https://downloads.codelite.org/). However, it just closes the debug panel after a very brief period. No error is shown.

It works fine with the older version of MYSY2 MINGW64 and the latest version of TDM GCC (GCC 5.1.0).

I am running under Windows 10. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Enable debugger full log (settings->gdb settings->GNU gdb debugger->Misc->Enable full debugger logging)
Run the debugger
After the panel closes, you can re-show it from View->Debugger Pane

The log should be under Debugger Pane, 'Output' tab

Not sure if I should dump the whole error message here or not. But here it is:

[kaosad]

Is the information I posted the one you need?

[eranif]

I don't see anything wrong with the debug log you provided except for one Python error (i.e. according to the log, the debugger is still running)
Can you try and disable python support? this can be done from:

Uncheck this option: Settings->GDB settings->GNU gdb debugger->Display->Enable GDB pretty printing

[kaosad]

Mmmmm... It is just weird. One of the computers I had installed suddenly did not abruptly stop like the other computers. I can debug like usual for that computer. I did not change any settings. The rest still have that problem.

What I saw for the other computers were that the debug pane automatically shut off after a brief period.

p/s: For the now working computer, I think I unchecked the GDB pretty printing temporarily before Codelite worked fine. Even I re-enabled the pretty printing after that, it was still working fine. I need to try that step on the other computers to see if it was the reason tmr.

[kaosad]

Ah! Now I am able to replicate such that it consistently fails.

It was not because of GDB pretty printing as what I was coming to believe. It was because of the Disassemble and Locals panes. If one of those panes was active when I launched the debugger, Codelite would stop the debugger. Similarly, while I am debugging, if I switched to one of those panes, it would quit the debugger as well. It feels like a bug in Codelite.

The following is the output when I launched the Quick Debug:

This is the additional output when I switched to Locals before it automatically stops the debugger:

DEBUG>>00000265-data-list-register-values N

Or perhaps it is the GDB. I believe that last line was the culprit. When I launched Quick Debug and then manually issued -data-list-register-values N, it terminated the debugger.

I was about to start a new thread when the "search" function brought me here.
I'm experiencing the same problem: If the "locals" or "disassemble" pane are active after debugging has started and a breakpoint is hit, debugging is stopped after a few seconds. If some other pane like "watches" is active, everything is ok.
I'm using Codelite 12.0.8 w/ Mingw 7.3.0 x64.

After some further investigation, my conclusion is that the debugger version is important: after using the latest gdb 8.2 x64 from msys2 , the problem disappeared. With the debugger from MinGW 8.1 x64, the problem is still there. The Mingw 5.3 x32 bundled with Qt 5.11 also works.

EDIT: Mingw 7.3.0 x64 w/ gdb 8.1 worked [again] after rebuilding the workspace.
