gdbtui shows "dl-debug.c:77: No such file or directory."

[Rhys Ulerich]

Binary package hint: gdb

Using gdbtui to run a simple program shows "dl-debug.c:77: No such file or directory." repeatedly. It seems that debugging can continue normally.

Observed on
   Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
   g++ 4:4.4.3-1ubuntu1
   gdb version 7.1-1ubuntu2

To reproduce:
1) Create a dumb program, e.g. foo.cpp:
     int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { return 0; }
2) Compile using g++ foo.cpp -o foo
3) Fire up gdb tui using gdbtui ./foo
4) Enter 'r' to run the program
5) Observe the error message

Still present in Kubuntu 10.10, g++ 4.4.5. But when I compile gdb 7.2 from the sources then this error vanishes.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Pintu Kumar (pintu-iitb-81)]

The repro steps mentioned is missing debug flag (-g) while compiling.

This still seems to happen.

gdb 7.5.91.20130417-cvs-ubuntu

I can also see the problem in Ubuntu 12.04 with GDB 7.4-2012.04 and GCC 4.6.3

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

closing this issue; please recheck with gdb in 14.04 LTS and 14.10. Feel free to re-open the issue if the problem persists.

This problem is still exist for me.

[Gustavo Goretkin (gustavo-goretkin)]

This also happens with `gdb -tui`

STILL not fixed.

any c program compiled with -g and then

Can confirm, this problem exists on GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.7.1-0ubuntu5~14.04.3) 7.7.1

Compile:
gcc hello.c -g -o hello

run gdb:
gdb -tui hello

in gdb, start your program:
(gdb) run

displayed:
dl-debug.c:74 No such file or directory
dl-debug.c:74 No such file or directory
    [Inferior 1 (process ....) exited normally]

Do not get program output.

Starting gdb without -tui seems to work fine.

On Ubuntu Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
