Hello again,
here is a small HOWTO for debugging Genode apps on Linux:
* The first thing to do is to interrupt Genode at a certain point as you
cannot start core with gdb. So, if you want to debug an application you
have to call 'wait_for_continue' from within your code.
Somewhere in your code write something like:
extern "C" void wait_for_continue();
void some_func_in_your_program()
{
wait_for_continue();
}
This will cause your program to stall in the function above.
* Compile your app
* Start './core' from the command line
* As mentioned before your program will stop in the 'wait_for_continue'
function
* Now find out the process id of your program, ('ps -efL | grep Genode')
* Start gdb with 'gdb -p <Process ID from ps>' , this will attach gdb to
the process
* Switch to the Genode output console (where you started core) and hit
'enter', this will cause your program to leave the 'wait_for_continue'
function
* Switch back to GDB, you now may step and set breakpoints (note: Does
not work with all gdb versions), inspect variables, ... .
I hope this helps,
Sebastian
