Using rust-gdb

Debugging binary

• Build the bin (not in release mode)
  • cargo build

First debug

• rust-gdb ../target/debug/rustgdb_1
  • Add a breakpoint on our program main function
    • break rustgdb_1::main
  • Run the program
    • run
  • Display current source:
    • layout src
  • Display variables:
    • print hero1

More advanced debug

• Display current variables:
  • info locals
• Display current function arguments:
  • info args
• Breakpoint on a function
  • break rustgdb_1::create_wizard
• Breakpoint on a struct method
  • break rustgdb_1::Character::take_damages
  • Print self value:
    • print *self
    • print self.first_name
    • print self.is_dead()

TODO:

• break on a generic struct?
• break on struct method with condition?

Debugging example

• Build all examples

  • cargo build --examples

• Debug:

  • rust-gdb ../target/debug/examples/hero_try_1
    • break hero_try_1::main

Debugging unit test

• Build unit tests:

  • cargo test --no-run
  • Please check the console output with info like:
    • Executable unittests src/main.rs (../target/debug/deps/rustgdb_1-a8611619000a999)

• Debug

  • rust-gdb ../target/debug/deps/rustgdb_1-a8611619000a999
  • b rustgdb_1::tests::attack_1
