Memory at symbol _dl_debug_state (which is at a fixed address 0x7ffff7dea970 for my system) starts with the values 0xf3 c3. Which corresponds to a "repz ret" instruction. When i try to read the very first byte of this symbol I read 0xCC (which corresponds to a int3 instruction) instead of 0xF3. However when I inspect the memory address with gdb as following, I get the correct value 0xf3. (gdb) x/1bx 0x7ffff7dea970 0x7ffff7dea970 <_dl_debug_state>: 0xf3 But my program accidentally seems to read the trap instruction instead of the actual memory value. The attached archive contains a small example, the compiled binary and a log how to reproduce the issue. If I run the binary on its own everything is fine but if it is run within gdb I get the previously described error. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
