Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2002 18:28:00 -0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000 X-SW-Source: 2002-07/txt/msg00277.txt.bz2 Hi, I'm converting a coredump into the ELF format. At first, the outputs in GDB came out blank, i.e. #0 0x40091aa5 in ?? () But after I added some other infomation, now I get the symbols filled in. i.e. #0 0x40091aa5 in sigset (sig=-1073747472, disp=0x20) at ../sysdeps/posix/sigset.c:69 Where does GDB find the function names, the arg lists, and other such information? Thanks, Lucy
