Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdb
Kubuntu 9.10 amd64. gdb package 7.0-0ubuntu1 I was trying to break on a system call. http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Set-Catchpoints.html #Set-Catchpoints suggests the way you do this is `catch syscall foo` and claims you can use tab completion. But I couldn't get this to work. Typing catch syscall op<tab> prints 'warning: Could not open "syscalls/amd64-linux.xml"' . Typing catch syscall open prints "Unknown syscall name 'open' . Typing catch syscall 2 prints "warning: The number '2' does not represent a known syscall." Sure enough I do not have a /usr/share/gdb/ directory or the file /usr/share/gdb/syscalls/amd64-linux.xml and it's not listed in http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/amd64/gdb/filelist The workaround: I found this file in sourceware.org's CVS, downloaded it, installed it as root in the expected location, restarted gdb and then all these commands work as expected. Please could the files intended for /usr/share/gdb/syscalls be included in the Ubuntu gdb package? Thank you. ** Affects: gdb (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gdb "catch syscall" doesn't work, missing syscalls/amd64-linux.xml https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
