I was using GDB to debug an executable that used C library functions, but
wasn't linked agianst the C library. Knowing a fair bit about Darwin, I typed:
(gdb) set environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES -lSystem
(gdb) run
GDB printed
Starting program: /Users/sam/perl-5.9.2/gdbbug
dyld: could not load inserted library: -lSystem
/SourceCache/gdb/gdb-413/src/gdb/macosx/macosx-nat-inferior.c:1507:
internal-error: assertion failure in function "macosx_ptrace_him":
macosx_status->stopped_in_ptrace || macosx_status->stopped_in_softexc
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
I ran gdb with the normal `gdb executable' command. My system:
GDB version: GNU gdb 6.1-20040303 (Apple version gdb-413)
OS: Darwin
Kernel version: 8.1.0
Processor: PowerPC
Hardware: Apple iBook G4 (from label on physical system, though
`uname -m' says ``Power Macintosh'')
Mac OS X release: 10.4.1 (``Tiger'')
A sample executable that triggers this bug can be generated by:
gcc gdbbug.c -o gdbbug
ld gdbbug.o -o gdbbug -undefined suppress -flat_namespace
chmod 755 gdbbug
The source file `gdbbug.c' contains:
#include <stdio.h>
int foo = 1;
int doit(void) { printf("Hello World!\n"); return 0; }
