Oh! should be on the site!! some day .. some day ..
Yes, it's the launcher. It is taken from classlib (which is not built
in debug mode even if DRLVM is built in debug (=default)). If you want
to build the launcher in debug mode, change:
working_classlib/depends/build/makefile.include
(put -O0 -g instead of -O1)
pretty, huh? :)
to debug on linux you should export LD_LIBRARY_PATH for GDB:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$jre/bin:$jre/bin/default
(you know what $jre is:)
(news is that tere should be no slashess at the end of each path, and no
soft links inside, surprize, surprize:)
then you can run GDB and, at least, see threads created, etc..
DRLVM is quite distributed between shared libraries, so it is not easy
to set breakpoints somewhere in libraries' code. There are 2
approaches:
1. drop asm("int3") in your code, rebuild and catch it via an
ordinary run from within GDB
2. stop at position when nothing interesting happend, but all
libraries are loaded (my favourite)
for (2) I use 2 custom GDB scripts "hstart" and "hrun". "hstart" makes
the first stop on my favourite start point. "hrun" uses those
breakpoints to stop on the point with further runs in the GDB session.
To get these two, drop these lines into your ~/.gdbinit:
---------------------------------------
define hstart
break main
run
break hysl_open_shared_library
continue
finish
disable
break compile_jit_a_method
continue
disable
end
define hrun
en 1
run
en 2
continue
finish
disable
en 3
continue
disable
end
---------------------------------------
good luck! ;)
