GDB arm-linux交叉编译移植和使用方法（特别是对于正在运行的程序或者段错误的程序进行分析）

目录(?)[+]

1、ncurse库的移植

    （1）下载：ncurses-5.6.tar.gz 

    （2）解压和cd ncurses-5.6

    （3）配置生成 makefile

        ./configure --host=arm-linux  --prefix=$PWD/output/arm --without-ada --enable-termcap --with-shared

        host是交叉编译工具链，可能不同平台会有所不同

        --enable-termcap比较关键gdb需要这个库   

    （4）编译 make
    （5）安装 make install

          libncurses.so放在ncurses-5.6/output/arm/lib路径下。

2、gdb库的编译和移植

    （1）下载：gdb-7.1a.tar.gz   官网:http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/download/

    （2）解压和cd gdb-7.1

    （3）配置生成 makefile

        ./configure --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnu --enable-shared --prefix=$PWD/output/arm --without-x 

       --disable-gdbtk --disable-tui --without-included-regex --without-included-gettext 

     LDFLAGS="-L$PWD/../ncurses-5.6/output/arm/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I$PWD/../output/arm/include/ncurses"

脚本含义下:
--enable-shared    动态编译
--host=arm-linux  用arm-linux-gcc编译
--prefix="$PWD/../output/arm-linux" 安装目录
--without-x     取消x windows 支持 
--disable-gdbtk  取消gdbtk,应该也是图形界面相关的
--disable-tui   取消tui 界面
--without-included-regex 关闭正则表达式库
--without-included-gettext  去掉用于多语言处理的 gettext库
   正则表达式/gettext,暂时不需要,先去掉
CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS是确保能找到ARM版的ncurses库

    （4）编译 make
    （5）安装 make install

 最终进程放在gdb-7.1/output/arm/bin/下的gdb进程

3、gdb移植到arm上

rz gdb进程到/home/user0上，或者其它的目录下，随自己的喜好。chmod +x gdb便可运行gdb进程了。

4、测试程序

#include
#include
#include


int func(int n)
{
int sum = 0, i;
for(i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
sum += i;
}


return sum;
}




void f2(char * str)
{
   char buf[1024];
   strcpy(buf,(const char *)str); 
}


void f1(void)
{
  int x = 0;
  f2((char *)x);
}


void test1(void)
{ 
   f1();
}




static int Delay(unsigned int uiTimeS)
{
struct timeval timeout;

timeout.tv_sec= uiTimeS;
timeout.tv_usec = 0;


select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, &timeout);


return 0;
}

int  main(void)
{


int i;
int result = 0;
for(i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
{
result += i;
}
test1();
Delay(10000);

printf("result[1-100] = %d\n", result);
printf("result[1-250] = %d\n", func(250));


return 0;
}

测试代码中的test1是用来定位堆栈段错误，Delay函数是用来定位程序阻塞，都可以用gdb定位出来，如下：

 （1）测试程序运行时首先会有个段错误：./gdbtest &
[user0@ user0]$ [65334.020000] pgd = c3e14000
[65334.020000] [00000000] *pgd=43b87031, *pte=00000000, *ppte=00000000
用移植好的gdb来测试运行如下：

 ./gdb gdbtest

[1]+  Segmentation fault         ./gdbtest

可以看出代码段错误问题出在strcpy上。

（2）测试程序中把

Delay(10000);

test1();
Delay放到test1之前，这样程序会阻塞，阻塞的时候用gdb定位正在运行的进程非常好用：

./gdb gdbtest 1865     第一是运行gdb 第二个进程名称 第三个进程pid，顺序这样子来要

bt用来查看堆栈信息，发现阻塞在select函数中，和我们的代码一致。
