Subject: mapped symbol files: obsolete/deprecated?
Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2002 05:29:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200209231229.g8NCTHd19083@fiji.swb.siemens.de> (raw)
Hi,
I tried to create a mapped symbol file with gdb-5.1 (using
-batch -nx -mapped -readnow ...), but gdb complained about
mapped symbol tables being "not supported on this machine;
missing or broken mmap()". This happened on Solaris 8, but
I could reproduce this also on Linux.
From looking at gdb/objfiles.c I concluded that I needed to
configure gdb with --with-mmalloc. Now I was able to produce
a .syms-file, but reading this file into gdb failed with
an internal error from objfiles.c (function unlink_objfile).
Now I am beginning to suspect that this "mapped symbol file"
feature is, in fact, obsolete or deprecated (or at least
broken in gdb 5.1).
Any ideas or hints?
Regards
D.Ruppert
