Debugger does not work with ICC 16.0.0

[Alex_L_5]

Hi,

I've updated to  ICC 16 and I see the following error in GDB:

../build/buildd/gdb-7.7.1/gdb/dwarf2read.c:19061: internal-error: follow_die_offset: Assertion `dwarf2_per_objfile->reading_partial_symbols' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.

My system settings:

OS: ubuntu 14.04

ICC:icpc (ICC) 16.0.0 20150815
Copyright (C) 1985-2015 Intel Corporation.  All rights reserved

GDB: GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.7.1-0ubuntu5~14.04.2) 7.7.1

Please help!!!!

BTW, Intel's debugger gdb-ia seems to be working fine

Hi Alex,
This looks like a gdb bug (refer to https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-c-compiler/topic/540685 similar issue reported before). Let me know after you confirm, thanks

Hi Kittur,

Somehow the problem was solved, (don't know how) - maybe did a few "sudo apt-get update"....

Thanks for your help!!!
