Subject: gdb backtrace include library as well as symbol name
Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2011 22:30:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E7FAB5E.5020705@jguk.org> (raw)

Hello

Is there a way to get the "bt" command to output the library or ELF 
binary file that the symbol orginates in? Would be handy if this could 
even be the default:

Short example follows where I kill a process to show the backtrace 
feature in use on my Ubuntu machine.

GNU gdb (Ubuntu/Linaro 7.2-1ubuntu11) 7.2


$ ulimit -c unlimited

$ /usr/bin/totem &
[1] 3581

$ kill -11 3581
[1]+  Segmentation fault      (core dumped) totem
$ gdb /usr/bin/totem core


<snip>
Core was generated by `totem'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0  0xb7817424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
(gdb) bt

#5  0xb6e6bc39 in gtk_main () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
#6  0xb77ada5f in main ()


#0 Doesn't show lib. I think this is glibc.

#6 Doesn't show the totem binary "/usr/bin/totem"

Please include my email address in any replies.

Best regards, Jon
