Hi,
I need a little help figuring out how to use gdb in Guix for bug 48941:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=48941
Here's the situation. A libfaketime test hangs forever. Upstream
suggested I debug it. I'm trying to, but gdb errors out. What am I
doing wrong? It's probably something simple, but I can't see what.
I'll describe what I've done. First, I started a build like so:
./pre-inst-env guix build --keep-failed libfaketime
While the problematic test hung, I found the PID of the test and killed
it. This caused the build to fail, leaving the build environment for me
to play around in.
I entered a pure environment that contains all the things I need to
debug the test (gcc 10.3.0 is currently the default gcc on
core-updates):
./pre-inst-env guix environment --pure libfaketime --ad-hoc
gcc-toolchain@10.3.0 gcc-toolchain@10.3.0:debug gdb
In the pure environment, I confirmed I can build and run the hanging
test via the following commands (I added -g in order to get debug
symbols):
make FAKETIME_COMPILE_CFLAGS='-DFORCE_MONOTONIC_FIX -g' CC=gcc
PREFIX=/tmp/guix-build-libfaketime-0.9.9.drv-0/myprefix
make FAKETIME_COMPILE_CFLAGS='-DFORCE_MONOTONIC_FIX -g' CC=gcc
PREFIX=/tmp/guix-build-libfaketime-0.9.9.drv-0/myprefix test
OK, so I can trigger the hang. Great! Next step, fire up GDB:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[0] [env] marusich@suzaku:/tmp/guix-build-libfaketime-0.9.9.drv-0/source/test
$ gdb ./timetest

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The debug symbols provided by gcc-toolchain@10.3.0:debug are under
$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/lib/debug. This is the value of GUIX_ENVIRONMENT:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ echo $GUIX_ENVIRONMENT
/gnu/store/32fjhp30k34fh0g9f1gmgcj8pc5wldq6-profile
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
By the way, this directory corresponds to glibc 2.33:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ realpath /gnu/store/32fjhp30k34fh0g9f1gmgcj8pc5wldq6-profile/lib/debug
/gnu/store/8akrlhc25d7xvi85gzvginw0vdi4zyg4-glibc-2.33-debug/lib/debug
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Let's tell GDB where to find those debug symbols:
(gdb) set debug-file-directory
/gnu/store/32fjhp30k34fh0g9f1gmgcj8pc5wldq6-profile/lib/debug
Let's also tell GDB to set the environment variables that upstream
recommended when running the test program:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(gdb) set environment LD_PRELOAD=../src/libfaketime.so.1
(gdb) set environment FAKETIME=-10d
(gdb) set environment NO_FAKE_STAT=1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Now run it:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(gdb) run

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Huh? What happened? I've double checked that I'm using gdb provided by
Guix:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ type -P gdb
/gnu/store/32fjhp30k34fh0g9f1gmgcj8pc5wldq6-profile/bin/gdb
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I also tried running gdb by invoking it via that absolute file name, and
it still errored out in the same way.
I'm operating in a --pure environment. All the tools are provided by
Guix. I'm surprised that /bin/sh and /lib are even mentioned above.
If anyone can provide any advice, I'd be very grateful. I'm not sure
how to proceed.
