HP WDB 5.9 Release Notes

pid is the process id.

Simplified steps for Run Time Checking in the Attach Mode

This section describes the simplified steps for Run Time checking in the Attach mode

using the +rtc option for the chatr command.

For debugging memory after attaching GDB to a running process, complete the

following steps:

1. Enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt to set the target application

to preload the librtc.[sl|so] runtime library.

$ chatr +rtc enable <executable>

2. Run the program.

3. Start the debugging session, as follows:

gdb -leaks <executable-name> <process-id>

For debugging threads after attaching GDB to a running process, complete the following

steps:

1. Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to appropriate directory based

on the platform.

2. Enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt to set the target application

to preload the librtc.[sl|so] runtime library:

$ chatr +rtc enable <executable>

3. Run the program.

4. Start the debugging session, as follows:

• Attach the debugger to the required process and enable thread debugging,

as follows:

gdb -thread -p <process-id>

gdb -thread <executable> <process-id>

• Alternately, you can attach the process to the debugger and consequently

invoke thread debugging, as follows:

$ gdb <executable> <pid>

(gdb)set thread-check on
