I'm debugging a C project in eclipse CodeSourcery IDE. The project runs in a linux-arm device so I cross-compile and debug it with gdbserver. My project consist of a main program and some shared libraries, which i compile with -g3 tags (tried -g also). Everything builds correctly: the linker finds all dependencies, i copy the compiled files into the remote machine and i run 

$gdbserver :2159 Test &

and i can start debugging remotely after configuring IDE's Debugger. I debug correctly until i 'step into' a library function. I get an output message

[New Thread 1032]

No error gets prompted, except that i can't debug inside the function, but the function executes correctly and I can continue on my main program. Later on, inside another library i get a segmentation fault.

I am supposing gdbserver search for sources on my local machine as i can debug my main program. Why can't I debug my libraries's source code?

Thanks

How to runtime debug shared libraries?

Looking at that question you can see that gdb can assign break points to functions inside of libraries just by using a function name.

(gdb) b func
Function "func" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y
Breakpoint 1 (func) pending.

  • Not exactly my problem. How can I do this when gdbserver doesn't find the library's source files? – Joster Jan 20 '17 at 14:03
