Subject: Question about _dl_debug_state and new glibc
Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 18:54:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041011172207.GA14151@tausq.org> (raw)

Hi all,

I've been away from gdb for a bit, so hopefully this is not something
simple I missed while I've been away :)

It appears that newer versions of glibc now marks the _dl_debug_state
function as hidden, making it not visible to gdb. This breaks the
solib tracking code in solib-svr4.c.....

Looking at the docs, it looks like the "proper" way for gdb to do this
is to look up the r_debug symbol and use the r_brk member to locate 
_dl_debug_state's address. is there any particular reason why we don't
do this in gdb?
