I may find time to look into this; it is a long-standing GDB limitation for what it is worth. This would take a major bit of work to fix in gdb; it's extremely unlikely it's worth the trouble. I think its time to revisit this issue. It is not possible to use gdb to debug an Oracle PRO*C applications. It seems the Oracle9 client is making calls to dlclose and that is causing gdb to fail with the error message: "Error while reading shared library symbols" before main is called. If you have Oracle9 on Linux just build the sample1.pc program and attempt to debug it with gdb. |
