11214 :: Debugging with GDB?

• mszs (orginal) [2024-03-13T23:43:50+01:00] view original

  I checked online and found some instructions on how the use GDB with nim. So, I'm using --debugger:native before starting nim-gdb and starting debugging. But then I'm here:

  
  Temporary breakpoint 1, main (argc=3, args=0x7fffffffd1f8, env=0x7fffffffd218)
      at /home/marko/.choosenim/toolchains/nim-2.0.2/lib/std/private/ospaths2.nim:217
  217	     break
  (gdb) list
  212
  213	 var sepPos = -1
  214	 for i in countdown(len(path)-1, stop):
  215	   if path[i] in {DirSep, AltSep}:
  216	     sepPos = i
  217	     break
  218	 if sepPos >= 0:
  219	   result.head = substr(path, 0,
  220	     when (NimMajor, NimMinor) <= (1, 0):
  221	       sepPos-1
  Run

  I'm confused why I would end up at this location.

  You might want to ask gdb. Try the backtrace command.

  I think there's something else that's wrong:

  Temporary breakpoint 1, main (argc=4, args=0x7fffffffd1c8, env=0x7fffffffd1f0)
      at /home/marko/.choosenim/toolchains/nim-2.0.2/lib/std/private/ospaths2.nim:217
  217	     break
  (gdb) backtrace
  #0  main (argc=4, args=0x7fffffffd1c8, env=0x7fffffffd1f0) at /home/marko/.choosenim/toolchains/nim-2.0.2/lib/std/private/ospaths2.nim:217

  This looks to me like the symbol table is not right. When I look at line 217 in that file, there's no main function anywhere near...
