|
|
When \s-1GDB\s0 finds a symbol file, it scans the symbols in the
|
|
file in order to construct an internal symbol table. This lets most
|
|
\&\s-1GDB\s0 operations work quickly\*(--at the cost of a delay early on.
|
|
For large programs, this delay can be quite lengthy, so \s-1GDB\s0
|
|
provides a way to build an index, which speeds up startup.
|
|
.PP
|
|
To determine whether a file contains such an index, use the command
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`readelf \-S filename\*(C'\fR: the index is stored in a section named
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`.gdb_index\*(C'\fR. The index file can only be produced on systems
|
|
which use \s-1ELF\s0 binaries and \s-1DWARF\s0 debug information (i.e., sections
|
|
named \f(CW\*(C`.debug_*\*(C'\fR).
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fBgdb-add-index\fR uses \s-1GDB\s0 and \fBobjdump\fR found
|
|
in the \fB\s-1PATH\s0\fR environment variable. If you want to use different
|
|
versions of these programs, you can specify them through the
|
|
\&\fB\s-1GDB\s0\fR and \fB\s-1OBJDUMP\s0\fR environment variables.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See more in
|
|
the \s-1GDB\s0 manual in node \f(CW\*(C`Index Files\*(C'\fR
