cannot debug

Post by freanux »

hi

i wrote a hello world program:

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	* printf("hello world\n");
	return 0;
}
set the breakpoint on line 1 (marked with the star in code). if i start the program, the gdb quits with following message:
Debugger exited with the following error string:
"During startup program exited normally."
i'm using gnu/linux gentoo, codelite is self compiled.i pulled the newest version of codelite from git: version 5.3
gdb version: GNU gdb (Gentoo 7.5.1 p2) 7.5.1

i have the same installation on my other laptop, which is running/debugging fine, i did check/compare all switches and cannot find any differences.

here is my full debug log:

the problem still exists. i really can't figure out, what the problem is.
btw, the gcc version is: gcc (Gentoo 4.7.3-r1 p1.3, pie-0.5.5) 4.7.3

no ideas?

Have you tried to disable the python pretty printing ?

Uncheck this option:
Settings -> GDB Settings -> Enable Pretty Printing

Also, make sure you remove the content of the 'GDB Start up commands' field from:
Settings -> GDB Settings -> Start up commands

Do you have this option enabled: Settings -> GDB Settings -> General -> Apply breakpoints after main function is hit
Try disable it

Its a long shot, but maybe this intermediate breakpoint is conflicting with your breakpoint (which is also set on the first line of the program)

I compared your log to my own log - and it seems like your GDB crashed...
I am missing these lines:

Code: Select all

DEBUG>>00000051-exec-continue
DEBUG>>00000051^running
Which is the equivalent of the command line to "run"

Can you debug this from the command line? Myabe its a bug in gdb with the MI enabled (Machine Interface)
Try debugging it like this:

Code: Select all

gdb <exe> -i=mi

if i debug in a console session, it works as expected.
it seems, that gdb is no longer able to execute your "run" command. hmm, it's really strange.

Try following codelite's flow ( you are using CLI commands, while codelite is using MI commands), for example:

- codelite does not use 'run' but rather -exec-run
- Try placing the breakpoint as codelite does (-break-insert)

You could also try and enable the option in codelite, Settings -> GDB Settings -> Misc -> Use file name only for breakpoints (NO full paths)
This helps in various cases.

BTW, try adding some more code to your sample main and place the breakpoints not only on the first line, does it helps?
