Objective C support

Open paulb777 opened this issue 12 years ago • 2 comments

We have a fork that adds in Objective-C support (although a bit hacky in places) at https://github.com/apportable/gdb. Let me know if you'd like a pull request.

Thanks! Are any of the patches good candidates for upstreaming to GDB? If not, I'll be glad to look at them.

Good question. I'm not sure.

We've been basing from darchons lately, since it seems a better Android starting point than the pure upstream gdb version.

Most of the changes are for Objective C support, along with a few miscellaneous Android and/or ARM bug fixes.

The Objective-C is work in progress, and may have some dependencies on our Clang branch.

A summary of the non-Objective C items:

  • Don't stop thread apply all if one thread has a memory error
  • Fix next command from stepping into file static functions
  • Add timestamp to build label
  • Skip wchar processing that was causing crashes printing uninitialized data
  • Fix crash on continue occurring on some Android devices
