CDT GDB No source file named ... error [message #236177]

Hi,

I am using CDT on Eclipse 3.4.2 to develop on a large C project, which has
its own custom makefiles.
I am facing problems with debugging, which I could not resolve after
spending hours on google looking for solutions.

I had everything run perfect on Debian 32 for a while. I then copied the
workspace to a different PC, running Debian 64 bit, with different home
directory.
I made a make clean and make, and I am able to run the application without
problems. However, when i try to set breakpoints, it does not work. While
the application runs with the c files I set the break points in, if I add
another breakpoint, I get in the gdb console:

(gdb)
300*stopped,reason="signal-received",signal-name="SIGINT",signal-meaning= "Interrupt",thread-id="0",frame={addr="0x00007f13ba656c93 ",func="??",args=[],from="/lib/libc.so.6"}
No source file named gnuplot.c.
(gdb)
301-break-insert gnuplot.c:103
&"No source file named gnuplot.c.\n"
301^error,msg="No source file named gnuplot.c."

The same happens for absolute paths. The debugger can stop on startup at
main, and the debugger works fine with a HelloWorld c app in the same
workspace.

Would this be due to that SIGINT, and does anyone here understand what
causes this and how I may fix it?

Hi, I figure the SIGINT is not the problem, since on the 32Bit machine
where debugging works, I get a similar gdb log message. So why can't gdb
set the breakpoint?

My guess is that you have the Source lookup path wrong for the debug
configuration. Look in the Source tab of the debug configuration.

btw: it is recommended that when moving projects between machines, you
should Export and then Import, rather than copying.

The Source tab of the default configuration has a root item "Default",
which has elements "Absolute file path" which has no children, and the
project, with all its folders. It looks fine to me, and I aldo tried
removing all Debug configurations and have a new one created for me. I do
not use any subprojects.

I tried adding only the project or only the absolute filesystem location
as source in the Debug Configuration. The same error happens.

For fun, I added the project tree same path several times, as workspace,
workspace project, filesystem folder, workspace folder. No change.
I removed all the source path, then the breakpoints did not even trigger
any gdb action.

I tried creating a new project of the same name, copied the project files
(except .project and .cproject) into it, and still nothing.

There ought to be a logical explanation to this, aren't there gdb commands
that I could use somehow to check where it looks for files or something?

Is the gnuplot.c file in the base path of the project workspace? Or do you
add folder depth? I doubt the error is coming from an Eclipse/CDT problem,
that is an error from gdb. If you have folders, I'd try moving it all to
the base project folder.

I have seen errors like this on windows machines when the directory
containing the source has spaces in it. Assuming that's not your issue

Are the two different machines running two different revisions of gcc? In
that case, different gdb applications. That could explain the reason why
it works on one, and not the other.

Hi,

the breakpoints do now work on the new machine after I added -g to the
CFLAGS in the makefile. I don't quite get why it is necessary to do so on
one machine but not on the other, but I can cope with it remaining a
mystery for now. Different gdb maybe.

CDT Version: 3.4.2
I have the same problem.
On the same PC (running Ubuntu 8.10) i have an instance of Eclipse with working breakpoints.
I also have an instance of Eclipse with the problem described above

In fact, i have changed something, and ever since i changed whatever it was, my new installations of eclipse or my C++ project will not debug....?

Where do I have to add the -g in eclipse? can you please describe that more specificly?

I had the same issue and adding -g explicitly to CFLAGS in my makefile solved the issue for GCC.

Quote:

'-g' is a GCC command line switch which enables GCC to produce debugging information in the operating system's native format (stabs, COFF, XCOFF, or DWARF 2).

GDB can work with this debugging information. On most systems that use stabs format, '-g' enables use of extra debugging information that only GDB can use; this extra information makes debugging work better in GDB but will probably make other debuggers crash or refuse to read the program.

If you have a C or C++ project in eclipse, instead of a makefile project, go to Project properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Tool Settings -> GCC Compiler -> Debugging -> "Other debugging flags" and add -g there.
