通过system（）执行外部程序时的GDB断点

Question

我让函数system()调用一个已编译的单独脚本。但我希望能够在特定文件中的函数中设置断点。

所以：

档案A：

system("./fileB");

档案B：

void main() {
 /* etc */
}

我希望能够在调用系统命令后在main处设置断点。

任何帮助将不胜感激！

新版本的GDB（7.1+）可以debug multiple programs at once并且确实可以支持这一点：

生成-program.c

#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    system("./program-i-want-to-debug");
    return 0;
}

<强>程序-I-想做某些debug.c

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf("Hello, World\n");
    return 0;
}

生成-program.gdb

set detach-on-fork off
set target-async on
set pagination off
set non-stop on

add-inferior -exec program-i-want-to-debug
break program-i-want-to-debug.c:5
file run-program
run

inferior 3
backtrace

示例会话

$ gdb -q -x run-program.gdb

显然你想用调试信息（ gcc -g ）编译程序。

也许我没有理解你的观点。似乎在文件A上启动gdb调试并在“FileB：main of line”上设置断点可以解决您的问题。
