Debug symbols in GDB backtraces

[twighk]

Hi,

How do i get debug symbols in gdb backtraces in newer versions of wine (works in 3.6, but not 4.0.4, 5.5, or from gitrepo)?

Example code: simple.cpp

Code: Select all

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void fTwo() { DebugBreak(); }
void fOne() { fTwo(); }

BOOL WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd)
{
    fOne();
    return 0;
}

Compiled with :

Code: Select all

./../wine/tools/winegcc/wineg++ -MD -ggdb3 -Og -fdiagnostics-color -mwindows -mno-cygwin -isystem ./../wine/include -isystem ./../wine/include/msvcrt  -c simple.cpp -o build/simple.cpp.o
./../wine/tools/winegcc/wineg++ -L./../wine/dlls  -ggdb3 -Og -fdiagnostics-color -mwindows -mno-cygwin -isystem ./../wine/include -isystem ./../wine/include/msvcrt  ./build/simple.cpp.o    -o ./bin/simple --winebuild ./../wine/tools/winebuild/winebuild

where ./../wine is the wine git repository

Run with :

Code: Select all

WINEDEBUG=warn+all gdb --args ./../wine/loader/wine64 ./bin/simple.exe.so

But produces the backtrace:

Code: Select all

Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
0x000000007bcb3d59 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt
#0  0x000000007bcb3d59 in ?? ()
#1  0x00007ffff07ea167 in ?? ()
#2  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

changing the debug flags when compiling from:

Code: Select all

-ggdb3

to:

Code: Select all

-g -gdwarf-2

as suggested:
https://wiki.winehq.org/Winedbg
doesn't seem to make a difference. The backtrace is still missing information.

Trying to run the program using the winedbg:

Code: Select all

../wine/loader/wine64 ../wine/programs/winedbg/winedbg.exe.so bin/simple.exe.so

gives:

Code: Select all

couldn't load main module (0)
0x000000007bcb3d59: ret

Running with the --gdb flag:

Code: Select all

../wine/loader/wine64 ../wine/programs/winedbg/winedbg.exe.so --gdb bin/simple.exe.so

gives:

Code: Select all

0x000000007bcb3d59 in ?? ()
Wine-gdb> bt
#0  0x000000007bcb3d59 in ?? ()
#1  0x000000007b44a93c in ?? ()
#2  0x0000000000012c28 in ?? ()
#3  0xffffffffffffffff in ?? ()
#4  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
Wine-gdb> c
Continuing.

Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
0x000000007bcb3d59 in ?? ()
Wine-gdb> bt
#0  0x000000007bcb3d59 in ?? ()
#1  0x00007fa75594c167 in ?? ()
#2  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
Wine-gdb>

Where #0 in the second backtrace is the same address as when using pure gdb.

It seems not to be related to the building of the executable, but the wine64 executable used.

Using ubuntu's wine-development (3.6-1) package gives backtraces, but building wine 3.6 from source does not.

Code: Select all

$ ./wine/loader/wine64 --version
wine-3.6
$ file wine/loader/wine64
wine/loader/wine64: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1]=50cfe4d47300d28213154a9eb63fc6226c3d58a8, with debug_info, not stripped

$ /usr/bin/../lib/wine-development/wine64 --version
wine-3.6 (Ubuntu 3.6-1)
$ file /usr/bin/../lib/wine-development/wine64
/usr/bin/../lib/wine-development/wine64: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1]=8577817b48d01e24e2adc0812ef07b908cc70634, stripped

Turns out you can get backtraces in the compiled 3.6 using the binary:

Code: Select all

./../wine/loader/wine64-installed

instead of:

Code: Select all

./../wine/loader/wine64

i.e.:

Code: Select all

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./../wine/libs/wine/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH WINEDEBUG=warn+all gdb --args ./../wine/loader/wine64-installed ./bin/simple.exe.so

Compiling from source tagged with Wine-version:

• Works on: wine-5.8, wine-5.5, wine-5.1, wine-4.18

• Doesn't work on: wine-5.9

, seems to just be broken in wine-5.9, as wine-5.8 is good.
