Top Forums Programming Odd behavior from GDB while trying to cross-debug an embedded Linux application. Post 303031458 by Corona688 on Thursday 28th of February 2019 02:02:01 PM

I really doubt the crash is erroneous.

Quote:
So why do I think the gdbserver error is erroneous? Well because both applications are using the same exact version of glibc.
Crashes inside libc are almost always programmer-caused. This one is easy to cause:

Code:
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void) {
        void *p=malloc(1000);
        free(p);
        free(p); // crash
}

Quote:
In fact, the only differences between the two applications is the changes I made to the code and that code works, I know because I tested it.
Never call code good because it "just works", especially when it crashes. What exact changes did you make to what exact code?

It could be the debugger that's crashing, I suppose. Unlikely but plausible.

NAME
PPI::Token::QuoteLike - Quote-like operator abstract base class INHERITANCE
PPI::Token::QuoteLike isa PPI::Token isa PPI::Element DESCRIPTION
The "PPI::Token::QuoteLike" class is never instantiated, and simply provides a common abstract base class for the five quote-like operator classes. In PPI, a "quote-like" is the set of quote-like things that exclude the string quotes and regular expressions. The subclasses of "PPI::Token::QuoteLike" are: qw{} - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Words `` - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Backtick qx{} - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Command qr// - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Regexp <FOO> - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Readline The names are hopefully obvious enough not to have to explain what each class is. See their pages for more details. You may note that the backtick and command quote-like are treated separately, even though they do the same thing. This is intentional, as the inherit from and are processed by two different parts of the PPI's quote engine. SUPPORT
