I am facing a specific challenge while debugging with GDB. My binary is generating core. When i am debugging it GDB. I am not getting relevant debugging information.
GDB stack trace (bt):-
[root@ussdgw5 bin]# gdb pull core.11328

bt and bt full is not showing any useful info. I have complied my binary -g flag. The same binary had generated normal core (core with proper debugging info) that had i have fixed.
In this particular case i am not able to identify any issue. Please suggest how i can debug and resolve the issue.
回答1:
Below pointers may help you to check the debugging info -
1. Check if you have compiled your code with debugging info on. (like -g and optimization flag off -O(2/3/4/5)) etc.
2. Check during the core generation - you have sufficient space in your system. A truncated core file will not have complete details to check for symbols.
3. Check if the debugging environment is exactly same as the run environment (in case both are at different location). An incorrect environment also can lead to unknown symbols.
These are some pointer. If I recall some more, I will update the answer. HTH!
回答2:
gdb pull core.11328
Core was generated by./ussd_pull_gw ...`
The most likely cause of your troubles is a binary mis-match: you are probably analyzing core that was produced by a different executable.
You need to use the exact same executable that produced the core. Rebuilding the executable with e.g. -g instead of -O2 would lead to the results you observed (but rebuilding with -g -O2 often works).
