Re: [cdt-debug-dev] MI: obtaining GDB's stderr
|
Mikhail,
Yes, you are right, it doesn't close the stream.
I have now written a reader thread that sits on GDB's stderr and pumps to
System.out. It does nothing until GDB exits and then prints all of the data
written to stderr. That is, it is blocked on the first read of GDB's stderr.
So, the data is being written to stderr, but for some reason, I am unable to
read it immediately.
Any further ideas?
Thanks,

A short comment. Did you try to set a breakpoint in this code? If
exitValue for some reason doesn't throw an exception (a bug in the
spawner) and there is no error message the error stream will be closed,
but the session will continue.

Derek,
This code checks if the gdb process has terminated. "exitValue()"
returns a value if the process has terminated, otherwise throws
IllegalThreadStateException. The process can terminate at the startup
for many reason. In this case this code reads the error message, closes
the error stream and throws Miexception to inform the client.
If the process is running (normal situation) this code does nothing
(catch IllegalThreadStateException).

Mikhail,
I think I have found why I cannot get to GDB's stderr. In
MISession#setup:
gdbProcess.exitValue();
InputStream err = gdbProcess.getErrorStream();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(err));
String line = null;
try {
line = reader.readLine();
reader.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
// the reader may throw a NPE.
}
This is done before the txThread and rxThread are start()ed.
So, it opens the error stream as a BufferedReader, reads and discards
whatever it finds, and then closes it.
Q: When the BufferedReader closes, will it also close the err
InputStream? i.e.
when i try to open the ErrorStream later on, will it always be empty?
Q: Do you know why it might do this?
Thanks,

Hi Derek,
In most cases the process returned by "getGDBProcess" is not a process
that runs gdb. There is a class called Spawner that starts a gdb
process
and creates the pipes for stdin, stdout and stderr. The Spawner's
native
code is located in the "library" directory of the
org.eclipse.cdt.core.<os> plugins. It may be a bug, I don't know if we
have ever used the error stream from gdb.
It would be very useful if you and other "monitor" users come up with
the requirements on how to improve the support for "monitor" in
general.
My personal experience with it is very limited.
Regards,
Mikhail

Hi,
How can I get access to GDB's stderr? I am trying to obtain additional
(error) information that is returned from a "monitor" command.
I am using the following code but reader.ready() always returns false.
MIProcess gdbProcess = miSession.getGDBProcess(); InputStream err =
gdbProcess.getErrorStream(); BufferedReader reader = new
BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
err));
String line = null;
try {
while (reader.ready()) {
line = reader.readLine();
errors.add(line) ;
}
reader.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace() ;// the reader may throw a NPE.
}
I know that data is being written to stderr - I just can't get it!
TIA
