Bug 30872 – kdbg incompatible with latest version of gdb

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description daniel.johnston 2003-10-10 16:02:24 UTC]

The latest version of gdb tends to spit out some information regarding
libthreads_db.so that kdbg isn't expecting to see.  The kdbg <--> gdb
integration is pretty fragile and kdbg seems to think this is an error message.
 Therefore, anytime you load an executable with kdbg, it sees the info message,
thinks it's an error, and gives up.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. kdbg `which gdb`
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I get a kdbg dialog box that says: <app_to_debug>: ...Using host libthread_db
library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".  When I press OK, kdbg opens, but with no
executable loaded.  

Expected Results:  
Ignored the extra message from gdb and loaded to the executable correctly.

[Comment 3 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2003-10-27 11:34:34 UTC]

Is this still true for gdb-6.0 ?

[Comment 4 daRonin 2003-12-18 16:31:10 UTC]

Yes, it still does this in gdb-6.0, at least on PPC platform.
kdbg is not the only thing broken, debuging in kdevelop doesn't work either...
