This patch adds a new make rule that generates a helper script for debugging glibc test cases. The new script, debugglibc.sh, is similar to testrun.sh, in the sense that it allows the execution of the specified test case, however, it opens the test case in GDB, setting the library path the same way that testrun.sh does. The commands are based on the instructions on the wiki for glibc debugging [1,2]. By default, the script tells GDB to load the test case for symbol information, so that, when a breakpoint is hit, the call stack is displayed correctly (instead of printing lots of '??'s). For instance, after running 'make' and 'make check', one could do the following: $ ./debugglibc.sh nptl/tst-exec1 -b pthread_join Reading symbols from /home/gabriel/build/powerpc64le/glibc//elf/ld.so...done. Breakpoint 1 at 0x1444 add symbol table from file "nptl/tst-exec1" [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/home/gabriel/build/powerpc64le/glibc//nptl_db/libthread_db.so.1". Breakpoint 1, 0x00007ffff7fb1444 in _dl_start_user () from /home/gabriel/build/powerpc64le/glibc/elf/ld.so Breakpoint 2 at 0x7ffff7f49d48: file pthread_join.c, line 23. Notice that the script will always start GDB with the program running and halted at _dl_start_user. So, in order to reach the actual breakpoint of interest, one should hit 'c', not 'r': >>> c Continuing. [New Thread 0x7ffff7d1f180 (LWP 76443)] [Switching to Thread 0x7ffff7d1f180 (LWP 76443)] Thread 2 "ld.so" hit Breakpoint 2, __pthread_join (threadid=140737354087616, thread_return=0x0) at pthread_join.c:24 24 return __pthread_timedjoin_ex (threadid, thread_return, NULL, true); Then inspect the call stack with 'bt', as usual, and see symbols from both the test case and from the libraries themselves: >>> bt #0 __pthread_join (threadid=140737354087616, thread_return=0x0) at pthread_join.c:24 #1 0x0000000010001f4c in tf (arg=<optimized out>) at tst-exec1.c:37 #2 0x00007ffff7f487e8 in start_thread (arg=0x7ffff7510000) at pthread_create.c:479 #3 0x00007ffff7e523a8 in clone () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/clone.S:82 Tested for powerpc64le and x86_64.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2 hppa-*-linux-gnu i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 ia64-*-linux-gnu m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu riscv64-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
