GDB Debugable binaries?

#1

Hi

I would like to debug my binaries on Linu with GDB. I used debug to build it but when I run it in Gdb I would like to get close correspondence to my sources. In that respect is this possible?

#2

C++ sources include these informations, so it’s most likely possible, but I don’t know about any features to actually do it.

It’s not gdb but there is a debugging system for hxcpp: https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/hxcpp-debugger

#3

Thanks, how is this done with Lime?

#4

In your main add new debugger.Local(true);,
in your project.xml add <haxelib name="debugger" />
and then compile lime test linux -debug -DHXCPP_DEBUGGER.

#5

Thanks

But I am getting some kind messages and the build stops afterwards ;(

lime test linux -debug -DHXCPP_DEBUGGER
/usr/lib/haxe/lib/debugger/1,0,4/debugger/DebuggerThread.hx:120: characters 45-62 : threadNumber : Int -> event : Int -> className : String -> functionName : String -> fileName : String -> lineNumber : Int -> Void should be Int -> Int -> Int -> String -> String -> String -> Int -> Void
/usr/lib/haxe/lib/debugger/1,0,4/debugger/DebuggerThread.hx:120: characters 45-62 : For function argument ‘handler’

Am I supposed to import some other modules?

#6

No, it’s possible the lib isn’t up to date with hxcpp or haxe.
If you can open an issue https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/hxcpp-debugger/issues

The Lime releases on haxelib include binaries for release, only, due to sizes. You can lime rebuild <the target of your choice> in order to compile release and debug versions
