Is this possible with gdb?

Is this possible with gdb?

[Ismail Donmez]

Hi all,

Sorry if this question came up early before but a Google search didn't result 
in much answer. What I want to do is to see currently executed line to be 
printed on console while using gdb.

Say I got this in foo.cpp

int main()
{
	i=2;
	return 0;
}

compiled into foo and I want gdb to print 

foo.cpp: line 3 
foo.cpp line 4
<exit>

So I just want to see porgram flow. Is this possible with gdb or can anyone 
suggest any other solution?

Any help is grealy appreciated.

Regards,
ismail

GDB is not a code coverage tool. You could look into use gcov.

However, with GDB you can step through your program. Try this,
gdb ./foo

b main
r
n
n
n
n

If you like what you see, try reading the manual.

No I can't use this as the program is threaded and I need to do some input 
from the gui thread. ( KDE/Qt app )

Check out http://ltp.sourceforge.net/coverage/lcov.php, this might be what
you are looking for.

The line problematic is one exec() call after that I don't see any line 
printed.

Only traces main() part but the interesting stuff happens in threads :( . Any 
way to get it to trace all parts including threads?

[Bloch, Jack]

Try this 


start you program under GDB 
define mytrace
   set height 0
   b main
   run
   while 1
      step
   end
end

type mytrace at the gdb prompt
