RE: GDB receives SIGKILL

["Vadim Shmelev" <vadim.shmelev@acronis.com>]

Thanks for response, Baurzhan. I will try to describe the problem in
details. Application works satisfactorily, but some results are unexpected.
Strace works normally too. Problem occurs during debug process only. RAM is
2 Gb and there is no out of memory messages in log. There is output from gdb
session:

Program terminated with signal SIGKILL, Killed.
The program no longer exists.
Current language:  auto; currently c++

The next output string looks strange ' warning: shared library handler
failed to enable breakpoint' as application is linked statically. Any
advises?

With best regards, Vadim

Are you using a front-end before gdb? If yes, you could strace it to see
whether it kills gdb. If not, check the kernel logs for the OOM killer.

With kind regards,
