Subject: Attach VC++ application to debug DLL compiled with Gcc
Date: Wed, 09 Jan 2008 13:49:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080109144832.yz2ss53a8go0g80o@the-doors.enix.org> (raw)
Hello,
My purpose is to use GDB to load and execute a VC++ application and
debug DLL built with gcc that are loaded dynamically by the application.
I am using gcc and gdb with cygwin on windows XP:
gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)
GNU gdb 6.5.50.20060706-cvs (cygwin-special)
First, I have an executable compiled with Visual C++, then I
developped a shared library compiled with gcc.
The shared library is loaded dynamically by the executable. The
program is running correctly when I launch it from cygwin.
Now, I am trying to use gdb to debug the shared library compiled with
gcc with -g3 option. The VC++ executable is built in release mode.
I have tried :
1- Launch my executable and launch gdb giving my executable.
$ gdb -q SIL_Test_Enhanced.exe
(no debugging symbols found)
(gdb) run
Starting program: /cygdrive/c/MyExe.exe
[2]+ Stopped gdb MyExe.exe
Gdb stopped directly...
2- Launch my executable and get its PID - 3632. Call gdb giving my
executable and its PID.
$ gdb -q MyExe 3632
(no debugging symbols found)
Attaching to program `/cygdrive/c/MyExe.exe', process 3632
[2]+ Stopped gdb MyExe 3632
Same thing...
3- Launch my executable and get its PID - 3632. Launch gdb to debug my
gdb and attach the executable.
$ gdb -q gdb
(gdb) run -q -p 3632
Starting program: /usr/bin/gdb.exe -q -p 3632

(gdb)
MyGccDll.dll
[Switching to thread 3820.0xd54]
(gdb) break MyDllFile.cpp:60
Breakpoint 1 at 0xd51cec: file ../src/MyDllFile.cpp, line 60.
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Switching to thread 3572.0xe58]
Breakpoint 1, MyDllFunction () at ../src/MyDllFile.cpp:60
60 myfile.open ("C:\\log.txt", ios::app);
Current language: auto; currently c++
(gdb)
So it works I can put breakpoint and gdb will stop on it.
But it is quiet weird ...does someone have an idea? Why it is working
in this case and not when I try to attach the process normally?
Thanks for any help,
Mélanie
