(I hope this is the right group for gdb aswell!!)
Hi, I'm new to egcs and gdb and I have a problem.
I'm using an SGI Octane runng Irix 6.5.5
I have installed egcs and gdb from tardists off of
the SGI freeware page.
I have a small test program (crash.c) which will crash when
executed:
#include "stdio.h"
void main()
{
int array[50], i;
for( i = 0; i < 100; i++ )
array[i] = i;
}
I compile this using 'egcs -g -o crash crash.c"
When I run it it crashes (!!!!) which is okay,
however when I do 'gdb crash'
followed by a 'run'
I get the message:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/people/stuart/workbench/crash
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x10001118 in __start ()
at /xlv55/kudzu-apr12/work/irix/lib/libc/libc_n32_M3/csu/crt1text.s:179
179 /xlv55/kudzu-apr12/work/irix/lib/libc/libc_n32_M3/csu/crt1text.s: No
such file or directory.
Current language: auto; currently asm
Does anyone know what the hell crt1text is?
I have tried changin the crash program to not crash and running that
through gdb and it's fine.
This is all perfectly reasonable. The message about SIGSEGV tells you
that GDB has noticed that your programs crashed. The bit about
crt1text tells you the name of the name of the source file where the
line of code that crashed your program lives. This file doesn't exist
on your system, which is again reasonable since it is the source file
for the startup code, which is code that comes with your system and
the source file probably isn't present on your system (though it is
somewhat curious that the code was compiled with debugging information
included).
