Bug ID: 485134
Summary: vgcore files unusable in gdb / does not load debug
symbols
Classification: Developer tools
Product: valgrind
Version: 3.16.1
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: jsew...@acm.org
Reporter: bernha...@mailbox.org
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 168219
--> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=168219&action=edit
add_auxiliary_vector_to_vgcore_files.patch
It seems gcc defaults now quite some time to create pie executables.
And gdb seems to rely for core files of such executables to contain an auxv
section.
This was found in this Debian bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=993018
There are more details about reproducing it.
I investigated back then and came up with an patch which makes valgrind write
the auxv section into the core file.
Unfortuantely forgot about it and now trying to upstream this.
Would such a patch be acceptable? If yes, how should I proceed?
Patch is attached and it seems still to apply to current valgrind 3.20.0 in
Debian Trixie/testing.
