(In reply to comment #0) > I think gdb should be quiet about debuginfo either by default, Unfortunately users try to unsuccessfully debug programs without having their debuginfo installed. > or at least with some switch. Yes, you are right, there should be such switch. You can set it from your ~/.gdbinit if you like - I also have some default settings there this way. Committed to the CVS: * Thu Feb 21 2008 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil> - 6.6-43 - Rename `set debug build-id' as `set build-id-verbose', former level 1 moved to level 2, default value is now 1, use `set build-id-verbose 0' now to disable the missing separate debug filenames messages (BZ 432164). * Thu Feb 21 2008 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil> - 6.7.1-14 - Rename `set debug build-id' as `set build-id-verbose', former level 1 moved to level 2, default value is now 1, use `set build-id-verbose 0' now to disable the missing separate debug filenames messages (BZ 432164). The Koji builds + Fedora Update still pending. gdb-6.6-43.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8 gdb-6.6-43.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
Description of problem: As a developer I do a lot of gdb debugging, and every time gdb spits a lot of noise related to debuginfo support. For example: Missing separate debuginfo for /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 Try: yum --enablerepo='*-debuginfo' install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/fa/841219472d35412ad631ad0f0fabb78e5c1957.debug Missing separate debuginfo for /usr/lib64/libexiv2.so.0 Try: yum --enablerepo='*-debuginfo' install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/1c/26bbb2a1b98eec4d95c9543860cf8290d86be2.debug Missing separate debuginfo for /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 Try: yum --enablerepo='*-debuginfo' install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/3f/06831d2b56bd9feeec456349ba99f9eed7f9ef.debug Missing separate debuginfo for /usr/lib64/liblcms.so.1 Try: yum --enablerepo='*-debuginfo' install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/b5/a4faf604fc0392de4737bb7da24b2efc1a5ed1.debug ...[a few screens of this follows]... I don't care about debugging ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 and other system libraries, so I'm not going to install their debug info just to shut gdb up. I think gdb should be quiet about debuginfo either by default, or at least with some switch. It is very annoying when you trace through code and suddenly it starts printing garbage like this in the middle of your debug session. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdb-6.6-42.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo 'int main() { printf ("hello world\n"); return 0; }' >1.c 2. gcc -g 1.c 3. gdb ./a.out 4. r Actual results: Starting program: /home/zap/a.out Missing separate debuginfo for /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 Try: yum --enablerepo='*-debuginfo' install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/fa/841219472d35412ad631ad0f0fabb78e5c1957.debug Missing separate debuginfo for /lib64/libc.so.6 Try: yum --enablerepo='*-debuginfo' install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/ea/5b2fb654311e2dc8beacf2f19c1c6d172ba93d.debug hello world Program exited normally. Expected results: Starting program: /home/zap/a.out hello world Program exited normally.
