gdb 遠程qemu-arm調試

把 c 編譯成 arm 指令的可運行文件

/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-g++ hello.cpp cat hello.cpp

#include <stdio.h>

void crash()
{
    char* a = 0;
    *a = 0;
}

int main()
{
    printf("hello world\n");
    crash();
    printf("after crash\n");

    return 0;
}

直接執行報錯。由於 host 是 linux x86

$ ./a.out 
-bash: ./a.out: cannot execute binary file

要用 qemu-arm 來執行， 結果是期望的

qemu-arm -L  /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/  a.out 

hello world
qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

進行遠程調試（關鍵是添加 -g 參數，指定port為1235)

qemu-arm -g 1235 -L  /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/  a.out

運行用 linux-x86 的 gdb 並不能打印 symbol

(gdb) target remote :1235
Remote debugging using :1235
(gdb) c
Continuing.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt

懷疑要使用 arm 的 gdb 參見 http://mazhijing.blog.51cto.com/215535/40759。 編譯了 arm 的gdb, 運行後定位到 crash()

qemu-arm -L  /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/  ./gdb 
(gdb) target remote :1235
Remote debugging using :1235
warning: Can not parse XML target description; XML support was disabled at compile time

結論：

難道說 arm 的 gdbserver, 就僅僅能用 arm 的 gdb？
