I'm having trouble with the py-bt, py-locals, etc. GDB commands (from Python's python-gdb.py) while using GDB 7.4 to debug Python 2.7.3; I was wondering if anyone here could offer advice.
Briefly, py-bt seems to identify the python stack frames correctly, but shows "(unable to read python frame information)" for each, and likewise py-locals fails with "Unable to read information on python frame". The full GDB session is shown here: https://gist.github.com/4228342#file_gdb_output.txt My test script is as follows: from __future__ import print_function from os import kill, getpid from signal import SIGINT def factorial(n): if n == 0: # Break into GDB kill(getpid(), SIGINT) return 1 else: return n * factorial(n-1) if __name__ == "__main__": n = 10 print("factorial({0}) = {1}".format(n, factorial(n))) And I'm seeing this with both the following sets of software: 1. Ubuntu 12.04's python-dbg 2.7.3 and GDB 7.4 packages 2. Freshly-built copies of GDB 7.5 and Python 2.7.3 (the latter built with -O0 -g3 in Ubuntu's GCC 4.6.3), after loading that Python's own copy of python-gdb.py into GDB. Any ideas? Thanks...
