GDB——从stdin重定向给程序作为输入来调试

GDB——从stdin重定向给程序作为输入来调试

最近在跑LLVM单元测试的时候报了很多错，GDB调试帮很大的忙。

但今天遇到了一个麻烦事，执行下面的单元测试报错了：

FAIL: LLVM :: Bindings/llvm-c/invoke.ll (5115 of 32600)

******************** TEST ‘LLVM :: Bindings/llvm-c/invoke.ll’ FAILED ********************

Script:

‘RUN: at line 1’; /home/cmp/work_dir/source_code/WMarsh_shadow_build/bin/llvm-as < /home/cmp/work_dir/source_code/WMarsh_shadow/llvm/test/Bindings/llvm-c/invoke.ll | /home/cmp/work_dir/source_code/WMarsh_shadow_build/bin/llvm-dis > /home/cmp/work_dir/source_code/WMarsh_shadow_build/test/Bindings/llvm-c/Output/invoke.ll.tmp.orig

‘RUN: at line 2’; /home/cmp/work_dir/source_code/WMarsh_shadow_build/bin/llvm-as < /home/cmp/work_dir/source_code/WMarsh_shadow/llvm/test/Bindings/llvm-c/invoke.ll | /home/cmp/work_dir/source_code/WMarsh_shadow_build/bin/llvm-c-test --echo > /home/cmp/work_dir/source_code/WMarsh_shadow_build/test/Bindings/llvm-c/Output/invoke.ll.tmp.echo

‘RUN: at line 3’; diff -w /home/cmp/work_dir/source_code/WMarsh_shadow_build/test/Bindings/llvm-c/Output/invoke.ll.tmp.orig /home/cmp/work_dir/source_code/WMarsh_shadow_build/test/Bindings/llvm-c/Output/invoke.ll.tmp.echo

Exit Code: 1

由于第3个命令在用diff比较文件时报错了。

对于第2个命令，主要是llvm-c-test程序使用–echo选项，接受stdin重定向作为输入，然后输出invoke.ll.tmp.echo

但是想要调试llvm-c-test程序，在IDE里面就不行了，因为IDE里面只接受输入参数，不支持重定向。

所以想到了GDB来调试。

首先看以下GDB重定向stdin的效果

// 一段小程序
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    char c;
    while (1) {
        c = getc(stdin);
        if (c == EOF) {
            break;
        }
        printf("%c\n", c);
    }
    return 0;
}

使用GDB重定向作为输入

cmp@t3600:/tmp$ gcc 1.c -o test

在GDB中重定向输入还是和shell中是一样的使用<符号。

值得注意的是：

​ 重定向输入，如何带参数启动程序必须使用r param1 param2 < ./1.txt类似与这样的命令。set args param3所定义的启动参数在重定向命令下是不起作用的。
