Awesome
This project creates a tiny debugger based on ptrace
.
It implements the GDB Remote Serial Protocol, works like a real gdbserver
and can be connected by gdb
client.
Features
- No extra dependencies. Only repies on
glibc
- Support basic debugging functions and some advance features, such as Host I/O and debugging multithreaded programs
- Support multiple architectures (i386, x86_64, ARM and PowerPC)
Usage
You can compile it by
$ make
or even
$ gcc -std=gnu99 *.c -o gdbserver
And run it by
$ ./gdbserver 127.0.0.1:1234 a.out
or you can attach an existed process
$ ./gdbserver --attach 127.0.0.1:1234 23456
Then you can run normal gdb
(Only GDB 8.x is tested) and connect it by
target remote 127.0.0.1:1234
