idb crash in _ZN23LoadableFileSymbolTable9mainEntryERK15UnrelocatedAddr

[vanswaaij]

Trying to start up idb I get the crash below.

Probably hard to debug without the executable, but I can't send it without permission, so let me know if you need it and I'll see what I can do.

Fatal error: Segmentation fault

Hello,

that's a bug in loading the debug information from the executable. Unfortunately we don't have any further update of the last Intel(R) Composer XE package containing IDB. Hence we cannot solve that within IDB. (IDB has been deprecated as you might know)

What you can do, though, is to alternate the debug information. I cannot tell you exactly how to compile your application differently because I don't know your compiler options. What I'd recommend in first place is -O0 & -g, and no higher optimization levels or additional debug information flags (e.g. -gdwarf-3). If this is still failing you might want to try recompiling with -O0, -g & -gdwarf-2.

In the end I propose to use GNU* GDB (gdb-ia) that comes with our compilers with version 14.0 and later. This is also the preferred solution.

Best regards,

Georg Zitzlsberger

Hi I tried gdb-ia and got the problem below. The software is compiled with Clang 3.3.

Thanks

Hello,

could you please use the latest version we ship with Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2015 Composer Edition. It is version 7.7.

Btw.: I assume in all cases you used CLang. We'd recommend to use lldb for this anyways (unless parts are compiled with the Intel(R) Compiler). Please note that we don't support CLang for our debuggers (on Linux*).

Thank you & best regards,

Georg Zitzlsberger
