GDB调试——启动调试程序
一、启动
>>gdb启动
gdb 调试之前加载调试符号，即编译时候加 –g选项，如 gcc file.c –g –o target
启用gdb的方法种有3种，一种是启动core，还有是attach一个已经运行的进程。
1. gdb <program>
2. gdb <program> core
用gdb同时调试一个运行程序和core文件，core是程序非法执行后core dump后产生的文件。
3. gdb <program> <PID>
如果你的程序是一个服务程序，那么你可以指定这个服务程序运行时的进程ID。gdb会自动attach上去，并调试他。 program应该在PATH环境变量中搜索得到。
>>运行调试程序
1. run argv1 argv2
gdb带参数运行
2. run
不带参数运行
3. set args argv_a argv_b
gdb启动程序执行后可重新设置参数
4. run > ./output
gdb启动程序时进行重定向
二、gdb调试多进程（attach）
运行gdb:
gdb
(gdb) attach xxxxx --- xxxxx为利用ps命令获得的子进程process id
(gdb) stop --- 这点很重要，你需要先暂停那个子进程，然后设置一些断点和一些Watch
(gdb) break 37 -- 在result = wib(value, div);这行设置一个断点,可以使用list命令察看源代码
Breakpoint 1 at 0x10808: file eg1.c, line 37.
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
三、gdb调试多线程
1、使用gdb调试的时候，gdb只能跟踪一个进程。
可以在fork函数调用之前，通过指令设置gdb调试工具跟踪父进程或子进程。
默认情况下gdb是跟踪父进程的。
set follow-fork-mode child 命令设置gdb在fork之后跟踪子进程。
set follow-fork-mode parent设置跟踪父进程。
默认设置下，在调试多进程程序时GDB只会调试主进程。但是GDB（>V7.0）支持多进程的分别以及同时调试，换句话说，GDB可以同时调试多个程序。只需要设置follow-fork-mode(默认值：parent)和detach-on-fork（默认值：on）即可。
child on 只调试子进程
parent off 同时调试两个进程，gdb跟主进程，子进程block在fork位置
child off 同时调试两个进程，gdb跟子进程，主进程block在fork位置
设置方法：set follow-fork-mode [parent|child] set detach-on-fork [on|off]
查询正在调试的进程：info inferiors
切换调试的进程： inferior <infer number>
添加新的调试进程： add-inferior [-copies n] [-exec executable] ,可以用file executable来分配给inferior可执行文件。
其他：remove-inferiors infno， detach inferior
2. GDB默认支持调试多线程，跟主线程，子线程block在create thread。
查询线程：info threads
切换调试线程：thread <thread number>
例程：
#include <pthread.h>
void processA();
void processB();
void * processAworker(void *arg);
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
int pid;
pid = fork();
if(pid != 0)
processA();
else
processB();
return 0;
}
void processA()
{
pid_t pid = getpid();
char prefix[] = "ProcessA: ";
char tprefix[] = "thread ";
int tstatus;
pthread_t pt;
printf("%s%lu %s\n", prefix, pid, "step1");
tstatus = pthread_create(&pt, NULL, processAworker, NULL);
if( tstatus != 0 )
{
printf("ProcessA: Can not create new thread.");
}
processAworker(NULL);
sleep(1);
}
void * processAworker(void *arg)
{
pid_t pid = getpid();
pthread_t tid = pthread_self();
char prefix[] = "ProcessA: ";
char tprefix[] = "thread ";
printf("%s%lu %s%lu %s\n", prefix, pid, tprefix, tid, "step2");
printf("%s%lu %s%lu %s\n", prefix, pid, tprefix, tid, "step3");
return NULL;
}
void processB()
{
pid_t pid = getpid();
char prefix[] = "ProcessB: ";
printf("%s%lu %s\n", prefix, pid, "step1");
printf("%s%lu %s\n", prefix, pid, "step2");
printf("%s%lu %s\n", prefix, pid, "step3");
}
输出：
ProcessB: 803 step1
ProcessB: 803 step2
ProcessB: 803 step3
ProcessA: 802 thread 3077555904 step2
ProcessA: 802 thread 3077555904 step3
ProcessA: 802 thread 3077553008 step2
ProcessA: 802 thread 3077553008 step3
调试：
1. 调试主进程，block子进程。
(gdb) show detach-on-fork
Whether gdb will detach the child of a fork is off.
(gdb) catch fork
Catchpoint 1 (fork)
(gdb) r

(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable

* 1 process 3472 /home/cnwuwil/labs/c-lab/test
2. 切换到子进程：
[Switching to inferior 2 [process 3475] (/home/cnwuwil/labs/c-lab/test)]
[Switching to thread 2 (Thread 0xb7fe86c0 (LWP 3475))]
#0 0x00110424 in ?? ()
(gdb) info inferiors

3. 设断点继续调试主进程，主进程产生两个子线程：
Breakpoint 3 at 0x804867d: file test.c, line 50. (2 locations)
(gdb) cont

4. 切换到主进程中的子线程，注意：线程2为前面产生的子进程
