Subject: Unable to trace assembler in GDB 14.2 on Solaris 11.3/sparc
Date: Sat, 16 Mar 2024 10:50:29 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d38ff0e9-ab8f-6e3d-62df-d1231160e7c7@riddermarkfarm.ca> (raw)
I am learning Sparc assembler (mostly through Paul's book and various
tutorials). I built GDB 14.2 on Solaris 11.3/sparc and can debug C code
with no problem.
Here is my test assembler code (hello.s):
/*
* Calling printf via assembler.
*
*/
.section ".data"
hello: .asciz "Hello, World!\n"
.global main
.align 4
main:
save %sp,-96,%sp
set hello,%o0
call printf
nop
mov 0,%i0
ret
restore
Compiled and linked via "gcc -g hello.s", the resulting a.out executes
as expected.
Here is what happens in GDB:

Reading symbols from a.out...
(No debugging symbols found in a.out)
(gdb) b main
Function "main" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n])
This is contradiction to what both Paul's book and tutorials state. They
state that a breakpoint should be set at main.
Assistance requested, thank you.
Sincerely,
john
