GDB stalling at 57% when launching in Galileo [message #493398]

Sun, 25 October 2009 16:56

Everytime I try to debug, Eclipse (or GDB in Eclipse) stalls at 57% when the program is launching, it eventually continues but it literally takes a few minutes to complete the launch. Is it supposed to be this slow.

I'm using the most updated version of Galileo and GDB. GDB runs perfectly outside of Eclipse.

A message appears on the console saying: "Stopped due to shared library event" and ".gdbinit: No such file or directory."

Any ideas? Thanks...

I think what you should do is to go to Run -> Debug Configurations...
and click on your debug version of application on the left.
Then at the botton you will have a hyperlink. Click it and select "Using Standdard Create Process Launcher"
Let me know if it fixes the problem.

Do you have gdb 6.8?

Hey thanks, I actually got it working by installing the most recent nightly build of Galileo. But I'll remember how to set the debugger for when I need it Smile

It looks like the developers of Galileo found and fixed the problem themselves Very Happy

I have the same problem as the thread starter but I don't want to move to a nightly build if avoidable.

Also i've "Using Standard Create Process Launcher" checked.

Are there any hints that you can give me?

P.S.

gdb --version
GNU gdb (GDB; openSUSE 11.1) 6.8.50.20081120-cvs

I'm another one with this problem - I have been wracking ny brains with this for hours and finally discovered this site. This topic was the first one I saw and I am relieved it's not just me ! Anyway - do I have to move ta a nightly build also or is there some alternative ? Thanks for your time on this.

I perhaps should have tested this before posting but here are some further findings...
I have followed the advice with regards to changing the Debug configuration and setting the preferred launcher to "Using GDB (DSF) Create Process Launcher". The debugger now launches almost instantly - thank you.

If you had a look at some recent postings in this forum you would have found this one with a clean explanation and a solution:
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=155143& amp;start=0&S=c7771714a25dcb6d0b91bae2147d6266

The slow start of the debug session is a regression introduced in CDT 6.0.1. Only a nightly build (one day after the official 6.0.1 should be sufficient) can fix this.

That's true. The DSF launcher is not affected. However, you should be aware that the DSF debugger misses some features that the standard debugger offers (e.g. mouse hover).

Hi Axel and thanks for the reply. I don't mean to hijack this thread but this may be relevant to the OP as well as me. Apologies if I'm going against procedure.

This depressed me and so I attempted to download a nightly build of CDT and install that over the top of the existing software. I am running the CDT extracted from eclipse-cpp-galileo-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz if that helps with the version. Eclipse reports Version: 6.0.0.200909110608 against CDT. I have attempted to install either cdt-master-6.0.2-I200910230620 or cdt-master-6.1.0-I200910230826 both of which appear to have problems launching the GDB debugger configured as "Standard Create Process Launcher". Version 6.1.0 seemed more affected then 6.0.2.

Please let me know what versions and builds work together with all the debugging effects - (mouse hovers etc) - and where to find them. I'm afraid I'm finding all the version matching rather confusing and spending a lot of time fumbling around with this. Thanks for your time.

Just updated from Ganymede to Calileo with same 57% problem.

I got cdt-master-6.0.2-I200909180606.zip and followed the instructions adding it as an Archive site. Then got an error:

Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools will be ignored because it is already installed, and updates are not permitted.

I don't see any preferences option to change this.
Now what?

Apparently stepped on my own foot here...
I had installed Eclipse under root, then tried updating under user.
All now working fine with the CDT update.
Thanks for the help.

Problem with Remote Debugging on upgrade to 6.0.2 Re: GDB stalling at 57% when launching in Galileo [message #505381 is a reply to message #493398]

Hi,

I am running similar to:

Quote:

I am running the CDT extracted from eclipse-cpp-galileo-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz if that helps with the version. Eclipse reports Version: 6.0.0.200909110608 against CDT

With all the CDT options installed and RSE End-User Runtime. All latest versions from Gallileo Updates site.

Tried to upgrade from nightly builds:

I200912180606
I200909180606

with selection of all the features except the Sources.

with the same trouble: after restart Remote Systems does not work anymore and in Debugger Configurations I do not see remote debugging categories any more!

I see only:
C/C++ Application
C/C++ Attach to Application
C/C++ Postmortem Debugger

But no:
C/C++ Remote Application
GDB Hardware Debugging

as I had beffore.

If I try to open Remote Systems Perspective I get an Error Window:

Could not find view: org.eclipse.rse.ui.view.systemView

Any suggestions?

Kind regards

I too have this problem trying to start the debugger from Eclipse. It used to work. And now it just gets this stalling at 57% when launching. I actually have another project in Eclipse that it still works for. So, there must be something unique about this project that is the problem. I can run the executable outside Eclipse in a non-debug way and it works fine. I just tried your suggestion for changing the launch timeout to 1000, but that does nothing for me. Any other ideas?

I have just installed Eclipse R2 version and this problem has now gone away for me. BTW, I was actually only getting the 57% launch issue when I was using the intel debugger. When I changed to use GDB instead, it worked fine. Although it had worked in the past. So, I do not know what changed to make this not work. But, I am fine now. Smile

Can you elaborate on this please? I am also getting an error saying that my request "will be ignored because it is already installed, and updates are not permitted."
