identically. The exact behavior shown by HP 9000 GDB under ARIES may differ from that on a HP 9000
•If the debugged process is blocking in a system call, any attempt to get to the GDB command prompt by pressing
•ARIES does not provide true emulation of MxN threads, and thus does not support debugging of HP 9000 applications that are linked with pthreads library and create threads in MxN model.
NOTE: The HP 9000 applications linked with MxN pthreads library are emulated under ARIES as traditional 1x1 threads, and thus can only be debugged under ARIES as any other
•ARIES supports debugging of
ARIES.
14.30.2Attaching GDB to an already running emulated processYou can attach GDB to an already running HP 9000 application process on
Use the steps below to attach GDB to HP 9000 application process under ARIES on
•Perform the same preparatory steps as required for debugging an HP 9000
•Invoke GDB as follows:
gdb <pa_process_name> <pa_process_name>
You can also invoke GDB through any of the attach modes supported by GDB using the
After the debugging, the process can continue or abort, as specified by the user. This feature is especially useful when triaging problems in an environment with a large number of processes and a mix of Integrity native and HP 9000 processes.
14.30.3 Detecting memory leaks using GDB under ARIESApplications cannot leak memory under ARIES unless they do so on HP 9000 servers. HP GDB can be used to detect memory leaks of HP 9000 applications under ARIES. Refer to HP GDB documentation for more details.
