gdb and ADA95

gdb and ADA95

[Nicolas Gautier]

I have been trying to use gdb with gud and gnat compiler. gdb crashed when
I tryed to print the variable contents, and when stepping with the gud
interface. Does anybody know where these problems come from? And if
an interactive mode exists in gud to print variable contents?

Sorry, but I had a problem with my e-mail address in my previous posting.
A few remarks : I work on a HP9000/715, with HP-UX 09.05.
I am using GNAT-3.01 and gdb-4.15.1.

First please be kind enough to set your e-mail address in your
browser.

Second you haven't told anything about the version of GDB you use,
your operating system, your version of Emacs, ...

Everything works fine for me with:

  1) GDB 4.15.1.gnat.1.10
  2) Solaris 2.5
  3) XEmacs 19.13

There is of course an interactive mode in GUD, this is the debugger
window itself :)

Does your compiler use *gas* ? If not, beware that some
incompatibilities exists between the executable format for HP boxes and gdb.

As said in the Install notes for gcc on HPs, you *must* get the gnus
"binutils" distribution in order to use gas as the assembler program
called by gcc.

If you want to know if your gcc uses gas you have to try the following :
	gcc -v <some c file>
and then look for a line containing an "as" string in the output.

That's not enough.  That tells you what "as" is being used, not
whether it is GNU "as" or the system "as".  If there is an absolute
filename, you should be able to tell by the directory.  If the
program is just called "as", do "which as" and see if that helps.

Once you find out which "as" is being used, you can try executing it with
the "--version" option.  If it's gas, it will tell you what version it
is; if not, it will probably complain about unrecognized options.
