Hi,

I am an eclipse(CDT) and Ubuntu(13.04) user. I recently ran a C project. When I run it, there is a seg fault at some line, when I try to debug it using a debugger, I get the below error.

Can't find a source file at "/build/buildd/eglibc-2.17/malloc/malloc.c"
Locate the file or edit the source lookup path to include its location.


I have not used eclipse debugger for C program in Ubuntu before.. It would be great if someone could help me on how to resolve this issue.

Regards,
Mani

That is a source file of glibc. I don't think you want to debug it. So you can ignore this message.

Before you ask
- search this forum
- see the FAQ http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ
- google

Admittedly it'd be nice if i'd be easy to get GDB to auto continue on such a break sort of like Microsoft's "Just my code"

Don't know about auto continuing but for inadvertently stepping into a library routine you can use the finish command to run until the current routine finishes, that is, returns. The eclipse debugger view shows this as a bent up-arrow.

In this case the program stopped within a library routine with a segment fault. You don't want to continue running.
Instead you should walk back through the stack trace if you want to see how the program got there.

I find this far more informative. An "only-show-my-code" switch is just laziness IMO. When stepping through the code you should simply step over things not yours. When the program halts unexpectedly, I personally want to exactly where. Even it I don't want to know, it's quite easy to find where things went wrong in my own code.

Every option comes with a cost: code bloat, extra testing requirements, and yet another way things can go wrong. Eclipse is a fine example of what you get when you try to accommodate everybody: a gazillion options that sometimes result in bizarre interactions. Just read the posts here to see how many steps, and how much understanding, is needed because of all the options.
