Subject: Is it possible to make gdb stop on actual failure, and not inside of signal or inside of assert function?
Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2021 10:21:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6e2fce20-199a-c986-1128-d5e634f05ba0@rawbw.com> (raw)
I start gdb from the signal handler of the debugged process.
When SEGV happens the signal handler starts 'gdb -p $PPID' using the
'system' function.
gdb stops inside of the signal handler, inside of the system call, in
_wait4().
This is 7 levels below the SEGV location.
Is there a way to make gdb skip signal handler and stop at the actual
problem location,
which is the line that caused SEGV in my case?
gdb-11.1
FreeBSD 13
Thank you,
Yuri
