Public bug reported: A number of our binaries cause this message from gdb when I run under gdb:
$ gdb ./Reaper_test GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.8-0ubuntu1) 7.8 ... Reading symbols from ./Reaper_test...done. (gdb) run Starting program: /home/michi/src/fix-reaper-test/build/test/gtest/scopes/internal/Reaper/Reaper_test Got object file from memory but can't read symbols: File truncated. At that point, gdb consumes 100% and does not respond to SIGINT, SIGQUIT, or anything other than SIGKILL, as far as I can tell. It turns out that, after waiting a looong time (as in around 85 seconds), gdb recovers and appears to run the code normally. Neither the error message nor the long wait are nice. To reproduce, grab lp:~michihenning/unity-scopes-api/fix-reaper-test and check out revision 474. Build the project: $ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug .. $ cd test/gtest/scopes/internal/Reaper $ gdb ./Reaper_test ** Affects: gdb (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1361973 Title: Got object file from memory but can't read symbols: File truncated.
