Bug ID: 15840
Summary: doc: gdbserver: Are the binary files needed on the
host, or only on the target?
Product: gdb
Version: 7.6
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: gdb
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: dilyan.palauzov at aegee dot org
Hello,
in section "Debugging information in separate files" is explained how to split
a build file into executable code and debug information. Section "Running
gdbserver" states
You need a copy of the program you want to debug, including any libraries
it requires. 'gdbserver' does not need your program's symbol table, so you
can strip the program if necessary to save space. GDB on the host system
does all the symbol handling.
The documentation is clear, that the debug symbols are needed only on the host,
but it is not clear, if I need the stripped files with executable code on both
host and target, or only on the target.
Thanks in advance for clarifying this.
Greetings
Dilyan
