Debugging with intel oneAPI on Windows: How can I reproduce this procedure?

Kdan · ‎05-19-2023

On linux, I debug with the following steps:

icx main.c -o myprogram -debug -O0
gdb-oneapi myprogram

I have tried this procedure on windows

icx.exe main.c -o myprogram.exe /debug /Z7

gdb-oneapi.exe myprogram.exe

But it says "no symbols loaded". Is there a way I can use gdb-oneapi on windows, on a binary compiled with icl.exe or icx.exe?

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.

We were able to reproduce your issue. We are working on this internally.

Hi,

We suggest you use the Visual Studio debugger to debug the C/C++ applications.

On the Windows platform, the Intel C/C++ compiler is compatible with the Microsoft toolchain. Please refer to the below link.

And thus emits debugging information in a format compatible with Visual Studio and the VS debugger. This format is not supported by gdb-oneapi.

On Windows, gdb-oneapi provides Visual Studio integration that supports debugging of code offloaded to a GPU. Please refer to the below link.

You can refer to the below links for more information.

Thanks and Regards,
