Hi, > so even eithout selecting DEBUG_INFO, you can still examine at > least *basic* data objects. ... I was wondering what does "basic object" set comprise of. Does that mean gdb will be able to calculate address of all global symbols (including global structure variables), but will cry when we ask it to fetch structure member variables (because it does not know the offset)? Also, did you verify (by objdump) whether or not the vmlinux contains symbol table?
