Subject: Isuse using GDB 16.3 on Illumos
Date: Wed, 06 Aug 2025 17:32:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bf51be106049.689391ae@contac-dt.de> (raw)
On Openindiana we have GDB 14.2 working.
I attempt to udate the gdb package to the recent version 16.3
It builds well but I get problems with debugging corefiles (multi htread):

<signatureafterquotedtext>Quit this debugging session? (y or n)</signatureafterquotedtext>
The same works with GDB 14.2 in Openindiana package repository. The version 15.2 seems to have te same problem.
Debugging GDB with GDB seems to be a little bit tricky.
Can anyone give me a hint whats going wrong here? Which test in the testsuite is related this task?
Many Thanks!
Carsten
