Is there a way to debug a shared object of an app with gdb?












0















I'm trying to debug a shared object that an app calls, so I can see the process within it.



Here is what I did to set up the gdb debugging:



adb forward tcp:6666 tcp:6666


gdbserver :6666 --attach 9750
Attached; pid = 9750
gdbserver: Unable to determine the number of hardware watchpoints .
available.
gdbserver: Unable to determine the number of hardware breakpoints
available.
Listening on port 8888

(gdb) target remote :8888
Remote debugging using :8888

sysroot" to access files locally instead.

(gdb) info sharedLibrary

0xe7ada440 0xe7b28bbc Yes (*) target:/system/bin/linker
(*): Shared library is missing debugging information.


When I continue, it gives me the following result.



Thread 1 "APP" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x732b225a in ?? ()


What am I doing wrong to debug the app?
