Hi All,
I configured gdb with "GNU gdb 5.0 (20010428-3) -- host=i686-pc-cygwin and
target=powerpc-sunos-elf32"
and made gdb to accept "file myram.elf" and "core mydmpfile". It is working fine with
console (line) environment.
gdb commands, stacks and display values are working.
However, GUI interface have several problems -- almost working but not stable enough
to use.
1) Keep loosing the current selected frame.
open ram.elf from main screen,
hit console - from console window enter "core corefile"
hit stack - from stack window select one stack
main window display the correct listing and I can go up/down ok
point local variable for example ' CurrTick' -- value displayed ok
click Add CurrTic to watch ------ looses frame information
info frame -- displays "Error: No selected frame."
no value will be display by pointing
receive "No symbol ... in current context" when try to Add CurrTic to
watch again
select stack or enter frame 2 -- get frame back
again until try to use the "add Watch" again.
2) loops and dies when hit "Local Variables Ctrl+L" to display local values
( my dump file may not have some memory for the location variables)
-- can not access memory address 0xac -- 3 times
-- Address of symbol "Snet Id" is unknown -- a few times
-- address of symbol "Cpu Ptr" is unknown -- 50 times
too many nested calls to Tcl-EvalObj (infinite loop?)
eval body line 1 -- invoked from within
"eval PREFS -cmd-$dispatch $args"
(procedure "pref" line 6)
invoked from within
"pref getd gdb/load /${gdb-target_names? -baud
(prodedure "set_baud" line 4)
invoked from witin
"set-baud"
(procedure gdbtk_tcl_reloop line 4)
invoked from within
"gdbtk_tcl_preloop"
......
I have been trying to figure out to fix it ... but not doing too well,
please suggest which area I should be looking at or do you have any fix already?
I am familiar with the GDB but not Tcl part yet.
thanks ... midori
