Debugging Core Files Using HP WDB (5900-1573; WDB 6.2; January 2011)

Example 12 Core File Debugging Session for a Stripped Binary When the Symbol Table

is Available from Another Program

This example is similar to Example 11 (page 52). This example illustrates the debugging

of a stripped binary when the symbol table is available from another program that uses

the same symbols.

The programs, example.c and example2.c , have the same symbol table.

Sample Program 1

$ cat example.c

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

struct st_two {

char *a;

int b;

float c;

char *d;

};

struct st_one {

int one;

char *two;

struct st_two *three;

int *four;

char *five;

};

extern int function_a(struct st_one *, int);

extern int function_b(int, struct st_one *);

extern int function_abort(struct st_one *, int);

main()

{

char *temp1="The meaning";

char *temp2="of life";

char *temp3="is 42";

char *temp4="NOT!";

struct st_one one;

struct st_two two;

one.one=17;

one.two=temp4;

one.three=&two;

one.four=&one.one;

one.five=temp1;

two.a=temp2;

two.b=42;

two.c=19.21;

two.d=temp3;
