RE: qSymbol

["Raja Saleru" <iap_sraja@access.co.jp>]

Hello Sir, the following is the function definition,

static void
linux_look_up_symbols (void)
{
#ifdef USE_THREAD_DB
  if (using_threads)
    return;

  using_threads = thread_db_init ();
#endif
}

assume that I am interested in only process debugging, but not thread
debugging,
so I am not defining USE_THREAD_DB macro.

I am getting confuse... why target sending symbols to host (gdb ) ?

If I compile the application at host side as re-locatable and relink it at
target side, the sybols are there at host side only.
the corresponding values at target side. This is what I thought.. what will
be solution in this case ?
can you carrify me more in details ?

Regards
Raja S

Other way around, friend.  Values of symbols are sent _to_ gdbserver.

See linux_look_up_symbols.
