New to the project, have multiple source files used for compilation and some "could" be dynamic libraries, loaded at runtime. When debugging the executable using "GDB", is there a command to list all the source files (static) used to build the executable. Once I have all the source files, it's easy for me to set breakpoints, list functions etc. I couldn't find a command to do it in GDB (I'm sure there should be one). In DDD (gui based gdb), there is a Menu: File->List, which lists all the source files used and static libraries used for building the executable. Unfortunately, for command line based debugger (GDB), I couldnt find an equivalent command.
Use the "file" command. You must compile the program with debug information in order to see the source code while debugging.
(gdb) help list List specified function or line. With no argument, lists ten more lines after or around previous listing. "list -" lists the ten lines before a previous ten-line listing. One argument specifies a line, and ten lines are listed around that line.
You can see these breakpoints with the GDB maintenance command `maint info breakpoints' . Using the same format as `info breakpoints' , display both the breakpoints you've set explicitly, and those GDB is using for internal purposes. Internal breakpoints are shown with negative breakpoint numbers.
You are probably looking for info sources
. info functions
could also be helpful.
Don't forget you can do things like type break
and then just press tab, which will list all relevant functions.
