Subject: Newbie asks about .so libraries
Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2003 16:53:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030129085049.25d160b2.wdtrenker@yahoo.ca> (raw)

Here's a basic question.  Can gdb/insight debug code from .so files?

I have a library, compiled with debug information, and a main program, also with debug info.  If I start gdb with the main program, does gdb automatically dig up the debug info from any .so libraries used by the main program?  Can I set breakpoints on the source code in the .so file?

Or do I have to link statically for debugging purposes?

Thanks,
Bill
