Issue with GDB under Cygwin and XP

Issue with GDB under Cygwin and XP

[Ray Hurst]

I'm running under Windows XP and Cygwin.

I ran GDB on a simple C program and captured the output (below).
I have a few questions:

Why can I run the program several times with no errors but as soon as I 
set a breakpoint at main it gets a SIGSEGV fault?

Why does the backtrace show only addresses?

Works fine on my Windows XP Pro machine using the same GDB and gcc 
version 3.4.4. What gcc version do you have?

The stack trace would indicate that the crash is occurring before it 
gets to your main function, since that code doesn't have debug symbols 
you get addresses.

Jim,
It's definitely crashing before getting to main and I don't know why.
The tools versions are: gcc 4.2.3, binutils 2.17.50, and gdb 6.5.50.

Hi Ray
I will bet on Gcc 4.2.3.

there are some reasons why on cygwin gcc 3.4.4
is still the default version.

Marco

Actually I was incorrect. The dump I gave you was for gcc 3.4.4.

I got it to run under gcc 4.2.3 using Insight.

I modified the program as follows:
/*
 
============================================================================
  Name        : HelloWorld.c
  Author      : Ray Hurst
  Version     :
  Copyright   : Your copyright notice
  Description : Hello World in C, Ansi-style
 
============================================================================
  */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void) {
	int a,b,c;
	a = 10;
	b = 20;
	c = 30;
	puts("!!!Hello World!!!"); /* prints !!!Hello World!!! */
	printf("\na = %d,  b = %d,  c = %d\n", a,b,c);
	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

When I step through the program I cannot get the Local Variables window 
to update the variables when I step over the lines setting the variable.

I look at the stack area in memory they definitely are updating.

Local variables window? Is that in insight? I've not used insight so 
can't really help you there.

Re: Issue with GDB under Cygwin and XP

[Ray Hurst]

Here is a run of a HellowWorld program (listed below in gdb).

Can someone tell me why the variables a, b, c are not the correct 
values. I dumped the local stack and the variables are correct on the stack.

I'm running Windows XP under cygwin.
gcc 4.2.3

The gdb run is as follows:

Was that patch applied?  AFAICT from the ChangeLog's it wasn't.

If not, have you pinged anyone about this Pedro?

Sorry for the 3AM-not-saying-anything-else-but-post-a-patch-link,
and not noticing the thread was broken, so the follow-ups were
not linked from that message.

http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-12/msg00439.html

No, it's not appied yet.  I need to split the patch into 2 or 3
parts before it is has a chance of being checked in upstream.  I'll see
if I can find time by the end of the week.

Notice that this is a problem with stabs debug info.  With dwarf you
don't get this problem.

Pedro,
Di I need to actually take the source changes from this thread and apply 
them to my build?
Or is there a patch file available?

That *is* a patch file.  It's a text file with inline disposition, so you can
get at the exact file contents without html munging by clicking "Raw text"
link at the top of the page.  You could also use the mailer support for
retrieving messages but would be harder I guess.  Or, you could wait a
few days until I submit new patches upstream.

I compiled the latest gcc and gdb and it now works under cygwin.
The versions I'm using are:

Thanks for your help.
