MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-IsSubscribed: yes Mailing-List: contact gdb-help@sourceware.org; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: , Sender: gdb-owner@sourceware.org X-SW-Source: 2009-05/txt/msg00007.txt.bz2 I understand that with GDB, one can remote debug a program with symbol stripped, as long as the host machine has an unstripped image. My question is how does it work and if it can be duplicate (easily) on other debugging system as well. I assume somehow stripping the debugging info does not impact the code and data section, and wonder if images generated from multiple elf files can go thru the same process.
