前言

gdb是linux环境下调试C/C++程序的强大工具,但是最近在使用gdb启动一个多进程程序的时候总是意外退出,显示信息中包含Detaching after fork from child process 25377.这一句,而用attach命令附加到正在运行的进程却没有问题,因为需要调试启动逻辑的部分代码,所以必须使用gdb启动多进程程序,后来发现可以通过gdb的follow-fork-mode选项来切换进程,达到调试指定进程的目的。

使用方法

set follow-fork-mode [parent|child]

这个命令只要gdb启动程序之后,在运行r命令之前敲入即可,如果不设置默认是parent模式,如果调试的child模式,就需要手动切换,我遇到的问题就是,程序启动使用fork()函数创建出子进程之后就把父进程退出了,gdb默认调试parent进程,也跟着结束了,所以出现了之前所说的Detaching after fork from child process 25377.信息,接下来可以写个简单的例子测试一下。

测试环境

[albert@localhost#20:15:45#/home/albert/gdbtest]$cat /etc/issue
CentOS release 6.3 (Final)
Kernel \r on an \m

[albert@localhost#20:16:25#/home/albert/gdbtest]$gdb --version

具体例子

  1. 先写一个简单的多进程程序,模拟我遇到的问题,父进程退出,子进程继续工作
#include 
#include 

int main ()
{
    pid_t pid; //pid表示fork函数返回的值,会根据不同进程返回不同值
    pid = fork();
    if (pid < 0)
    {
        exit(-1);
    }
    else if (pid == 0) // 子进程返回pid为0
    {
        unsigned int u = 0;
        while(true)
        {
            ++u;
            sleep(1);
        }
    }
    else // 父进程返回pid为子进程的id,大于0
    {
        exit(1);
    }
    return 0;
}
  1. 将代码编译成可执行程序
[albert@localhost#20:04:31#/home/albert/gdbtest]$g++ multiprocess.cpp -o multiprocess
  1. gdb启动程序并运行,其中我只输入了rq两个gdb命令,发现程序运行r之后输出几行信息就退出了
[albert@localhost#20:04:45#/home/albert/gdbtest]$gdb ./multiprocess

  1. 使用set follow-fork-mode child命令调试子进程,在r之前输入即可,这次发现程序停在了[New process 27522],此时就可以打断点调试了
[albert@localhost#20:23:12#/home/albert/gdbtest]$gdb ./multiprocess

总结

  1. gdb调试多进程程序时使用set follow-fork-mode [parent|child]命令
  2. 默认调试parent进程,想调试child进程,使用set follow-fork-mode child命令切换
