[SOLVED] Can't get debug info despite options=(debug !strip)

blackout23 · 2014-02-27 14:46:23

Hello,

I'm trying to debug a problem with nautilus. So I ran "gdb nautilus" "r" and did the steps which reproduce the bug every single time.

0x00007ffff12f2a0c in ?? () from /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6

I followed the Debug - Getting Traces Wiki and tracked down the owner of libfreetype.so.6, which in my case is "freetype2-infinality". I grabbed the tar archive for freetype2-infinality from the AUR and added options=(debug !strip) to the PKGBUILD and built it with "makepkg -si". I let pacman reinstall the newly created package. I rebooted for good measure and tried to debug it again with the same steps, but it still says "0x00007ffff12f2a0c in ?? () from /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6" when nautilus segfaults. I thought the debug info in the freetype2 package would reveal now what ?? actually is. I rebuilt nautilus with ABS with a modified PKGBUILD similar to what the "Step_By_Step_Debugging_Guide" wiki says (added options=(!strip debug) instead of only (!strip) like the wiki says). I exported the "-O0 -fbuiltin -g" CXFLAGS/CXXFLAGS at the beginning ouf the build() routine and rebuild and installed the new package. Still I don't get any more debug information than with the regular packages from the repo.

I ran "gdb" and:

(gdb) file nautilus
Reading symbols from nautilus...(no debugging symbols found)...done.

Where are they? What did I do wrong? In retrospect adding options=(debug) when rebuilding was probably redundant, since it adds the "-g" CFLAG, right? I also executed "ulimit -c unlimited" and started nautilus from terminal while in my home directory but it did not create a coredump file in ~. systemd-coredumpctl also doesn't list any coredumps.

Thanks in advance,

using the debug option creates a second package that has the debugging symbols in it. Did you install both?

blackout23 · 2014-02-27 16:04:17

It only created one freetype2-infinality pkg.tar.xz in the PKGBUILD directory and two packages for nautilus (libnautilus-extension and nautilus), but both are also created when no debug options are set when building. I don't see an extra -dbg package or something like that.

Scimmia · 2014-02-27 16:07:23

Did you add it at the top and options got redefined? Looking at the nautilus PKGBUILD, it already uses an options array, so you need to add 'debug' to it. Note that adding '!strip' with that is nonsense, as 'debug' implies 'strip'.

karol · 2014-02-27 16:07:40

Can you please post the PKGBUILDs you used?

blackout23 · 2014-02-27 16:27:15

I overlooked that both already had an options arrary, but mine was the first one. I merged them. My PKGBUILDs now look like this.

I rebuild them all with "makepkg -sif" so that I would not simply try to install the existing old pkg in my directory.

Still there is no debug package as it seems.

If yours was the first one, it was meaningless.

In the nautilus PKGBUILD, you just added '!strip' , not 'debug', so it will create unstripped binaries in the actual package instead of creating a separate debug package. Nothing wrong with this, the debug symbols are there as part of the normal package.

In the freetype2-infinality PKGBUILD, you added both 'debug' and '!strip', which, as I said, is nonsense. I have no idea what the actual behavior would be when doing this.

blackout23 · 2014-02-27 16:44:29

So the information here is incorrect?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … tings_only

I omitted 'debug' for nautilus, because I think it will just add the -g flag if I'm not mistaken. I set the -g flag in build() as suggested here:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … gdb_output

EDIT: I just ran gdb again and now don't have ?? anymore for libfreetype.

Yes, that information is incorrect. Editing.

Ah, I see, they define that behavior in that wiki entry. As it says, it will generate the debug symbols then not strip them into a separate package. That works, too, and would generate a single package like you're seeing.

you can always just add !strip to the options array along with debug, that way the symbols will stay in the files themselves instead of being stripped out into separate files.

Yeah, my fault. I knew this at one point and obviously forgot in the last few months.

blackout23 · 2014-02-27 16:53:01

It looks like mergeing the options arrays fixed it. I have both packages built from the PKGBUILDs above and gdb now gives me more output. I only checked if it would create an extra debug package, but did not test if I can debug with the new packages untill now.
