Android ICS下用gdb远程调试办法

 　　Host: ubuntu

　　Target: Android ICS

　　1. 将gdbserver和gdbclient分别放入target和host。两者都可在android源代码的prebuilt目录下找到。

　　2. 在Target上启动gdbserver，在adb shell中执行

　　$ /path/to/gdbserver :1111--attach PID

　　其中PID为想要debug程序的进程号，可以通过ps得到。1111为端口号，可以自定义。

　　3. 在Host上启动gdbclient，首先将target上的库pull到host上(如/home/jzj/debug/gdb)

　　$cd /home/jzj/debug/gdb

　　$adb pull /system/lib

　　$adb pull /system/bin/app_process

　　然后写启动脚本init.gdb(这里假设程序要用到的库放在/home/jzj/debug/gdb/下，android的symbol放在/home/jzj/debug/ics/symbols/system/lib/下，android的源码放在/home/jzj/workspace/ics下)

　　file /home/jzj/debug/gdb/app_process

　　set solib-absolute-prefix /home/jzj/debug/ics/symbols/

　　set solib-search-path /home/jzj/debug/ics/symbols/system/lib/:/home/jzj/debug/gdb

　　dir /home/jzj/workspace/ics

　　shell adb forward tcp:1111 tcp:1111

　　target remote :1111

　　最后执行

　　$ gdb -x init.gdb

　　就可以启动gdb了。一切正常的话这时候就可以用gdb的基本功能，如设断点或者查看内存了。这时有些so库的符号表可能还没载入，可以执行

　　(gdb) shared

　　载入这些符号表。

　　最后附个关于gdb设置脚本中两个变量的官方解释，一般solib-absolute-prefix先于solib-search-path查找。

　　solib-absolute-prefix ：

　　If this variable is set, path will be used as a prefix for any absolute shared library paths; many runtime loaders store the absolute paths to the shared library in the target program's memory. If you use `solib-absolute-prefix' to find shared libraries, they need to be laid out in the same way that they are on the target, with e.g. a `/usr/lib' hierarchy under path. You can set the default value of `solib-absolute-prefix' by using the configure-time `--with-sysroot' option.

　　solib-search-path ：

　　If this variable is set, path is a colon-separated list of directories to search for shared libraries. `solib-search-path' is used after `solib-absolute-prefix' fails to locate the library, or if the path to the library is relative instead of absolute. If you want to use `solib-search-path' instead of `solib-absolute-prefix', be sure to set `solib-absolute-prefix' to a nonexistant directory to prevent GDB from finding your host's libraries.
