Description Sakura286 2023-12-08 05:42:33 UTC 
Description:
I am working with the latest commit of the source code on an riscv64 machine. But gdb behaves not correctly.

When I print a variable, such as xxx, gdb prints "No symbol 'xxx' in current context". I can't print the value of any variable. But other functions of gdbs are working fine, such as setting breakpoint and print stack.

What should I do to fix this?

Steps to Reproduce:
On a riscv64 machine, build libreoffice with "--enable-debug". Then debug any .cxx file and print any variable.

Actual Results:
gdb prints "No symbol 'xxx' in current context"

Expected Results:
The value of the variable printed.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
gdb version 13.2
gcc version 13.2
Comment 1 Sakura286 2024-01-29 02:43:30 UTC 
Since '--gsplit-dwarf' is broken on riscv64, passing '--disable-split-debug' to autogen.input solves this problem.
