pygdb2 0.1

如何安装

确保pygdb2已安装：

$ pip install pygdb2

然后，您需要激活gdb集成，方法是将这一行放在 您的~/.gdbinit：

python import pygdb2

如何使用

您需要使用 pyrun命令：

$ gdb --args python myscript.py
...
(gdb) pyrun
...

在python程序中，可以使用pygdb2.set_trace()输入gdb 提示，或pygdb2.execute()向gdb发送命令。

在(gdb)提示下，可以调用pdb命令来输入 在python级别的相应调试器中。

示例

例如，下面的代码为特定的 使用ctypes：

import ctypes
import pygdb2

def main():
    buf = ctypes.c_int()
    buf.value = 42
    adr = ctypes.cast(ctypes.pointer(buf), ctypes.c_void_p)
    # enter gdb when we write to this memory
    pygdb2.execute("watch *(int*)%d" % adr.value)

    i = 0
    while i < 5:
        print i
        i += 1
        if i == 2:
            buf.value = 43 # GDB stops here

下面是gdb/pdb会话的示例：

$ gdb --args python set_watchpoint.py
...
(gdb) # lines prefixed "pygdb2:" contain the command coming from pygdb2.execute()
(gdb) pyrun
...
pygdb2: watch *(int*)14079984
Hardware watchpoint 1: *(int*)14079984
0
1
Hardware watchpoint 1: *(int*)14079984

Old value = 42
New value = 43

使用信号

pygdb2同时使用SIGUSR1和SIGUSR2与gdb通信， 所以如果你的程序也需要这些，你可能会有冲突。
