Description Sergio Durigan Junior 2015-09-02 04:40:28 UTC

For a detailed description of the problem, see Bug 1196181.

GDB can do better in those situations (i.e., when the probes-based dynamic linker interface fails to parse the arguments for the probes it needs), and I have just pushed two patches upstream that will help accomplish this:

<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-cvs/2015-09/msg00001.html>

<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-cvs/2015-09/msg00002.html>

They need to be backported.

Comment 1 Sergio Durigan Junior 2015-09-02 04:40:59 UTC

I will work on this.
