Application on 11.23 crashes under gdb

FRESNEDA Christine — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 07:54:59 GMT

We have an application compiled in debug mode that runs fine under 11.23.
But when we attach to it under gdb to set breakpoints it crashes:

>But when we attach to it under gdb to set breakpoints it crashes:

Make sure you use chatr like it said:
chatr +dbg enable /home/dholt/vt_tl1_am

Does this abort consistently?

Have you tried debugging the signal 11 in MDequeElement::IsRoot, assuming it was your bug?

Can you print *this there?
Do you have a thread stack overflow?

Re: Application on 11.23 crashes under gdb

FRESNEDA Christine — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 15:01:37 GMT

Yes it does core consistently.

>>Make sure you use chatr like it said:
>>chatr +dbg enable /home/dholt/vt_tl1_am
We are going to try this.

Have you tried debugging the signal 11 in MDequeElement::IsRoot, assuming it was your bug?
No but here is its definition:
MCC_T_Boolean IsRoot() const { return MCC_K_FALSE;}

>>Can you print *this there?
we will do and post the result.

>>Do you have a thread stack overflow?
How can we check for it?

Thank you,
Christine

If MCC_K_FALSE is a constant, I can't see how it fails unless "this" is bad?

>we will do and post the result.

You can also disassemble the function:
(gdb) disas
(gdb) info reg

Are all of the aC++ shlibs in the chatr output compiled with -mt?

Did you restart vt_tl1_am after you did the chatr?

You need to do this when you get the signal.

This isn't good. But why did it say: (this=0x9fffffffbf1c26f0)

>Yes MCC_K_FLASE is a constant which means false.

I need to see the machine code. Where is this output:

Yes all shared libraries are built with -mt option.

No we haven't restarted the executable after running chatr.

We are currently collecting the other information

Thank you

Don't you have to do that since it aborted when you were in gdb?

Christine,

Could you please try again with chatr'ed executable as mentioned by Dennis and let us know whether could you reproduce the crash again?

Please mail to wdb-help@cup.hp.com to get quick replies for your queries/issues related to debugger.
