Public bug reported: As mentioned in Bug #1166304, because of use of python 3 for building GDB, a lot of python 2 plugins seems to not be supported anymore by default??
Yesterday I was trying to debug STL stuff and stumbled upon the same errors as referred in #1166304. Today when trying to debug Go I stumbled upon: GNU gdb (GDB) 7.6.1-ubuntu This GDB was configured as "x86_64-linux-gnu". For bug reporting instructions, please see: <http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/>... Lendo símbolos de /home/francisco/.go/src/playground/sample...concluído. File "/usr/local/src/go/src/pkg/runtime/runtime-gdb.py", line 358 print s, ptr['goid'], "%8s" % sts[long((ptr['status']))], blk.function ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax (gdb) q So, it seems with the default GDB I can't do several things because of adoption of python 3 (http://alexgaynor.net/2013/dec/30/about-python-3)? Can I switch it to use python 2 so it's usable again, or should I just build my own gdb as I'm about to do? ** Affects: gdb (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: saucy ** Description changed: As mentioned in Bug #1166304, because of use of python 3 for building GDB, a lot of python 2 plugins seems to not be supported anymore by default??
