Package: gdb Version: 13.1-3 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: tomasz.paw...@wp.eu
The gdb compiled for Debian12 is extremely slow - it takes tens of seconds to minutes to execute even the simplest commands, like "info args", or "backtrace" - for a medium size program. I've modified Codeblocks IDE to measure gdb response times, here's the link: https://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,25561.msg174050.html#msg174050 Apparently the problem is with the build flags used to compile gdb. I've made a test build of the source package: "gdb-source_13.1-3_all.deb" build flags: > export target_configargs="--enable-threading --with-gnu-ld --enable- libbacktrace --with-zstd --with-system-readline --with-system-zlib --with- xxhash=yes --disable-unit-tests --disable-sim" > ./configure --enable-lto --enable-vtable-verify --disable-libstdcxx The newly built gdb is working as expected - measured response times are close to zero (see the link posted above) Regards -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-13-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gdb depends on: ii libbabeltrace1 1.5.11-1+b2 ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u3 ii libdebuginfod1 0.188-2.1 ii libexpat1 2.5.0-1 ii libgcc-s1 12.2.0-14 ii libgmp10 2:6.2.1+dfsg1-1.1 ii libipt2 2.0.5-1 ii liblzma5 5.4.1-0.2 ii libmpfr6 4.2.0-1 ii libncursesw6 6.4-4 ii libpython3.11 3.11.2-6 ii libreadline8 8.2-1.3 ii libsource-highlight4v5 3.1.9-4.2+b3 ii libstdc++6 12.2.0-14 ii libtinfo6 6.4-4 ii libxxhash0 0.8.1-1 ii libzstd1 1.5.4+dfsg2-5 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.13.dfsg-1 Versions of packages gdb recommends: ii libc6-dbg [libc-dbg] 2.36-9+deb12u3 Versions of packages gdb suggests: ii gdb-doc 13.1-1 pn gdbserver <none> -- no debconf information
