Bash script that builds and launches an interactive Debian Docker container running gdb, lldb and Valgrind, with the proper parameters to make those usable (seccomp=unconfined) and the convenient Fish shell.
- For your basic debugging needs when stranded on a machine missing those tools.
- Crucial to the 42 School student I currently am when using the school's Mac OS machines.
- Launch Docker on your machine.
- / ! \ If you are at 42 School, you should set your Docker cache into your "goinfre" folder to prevent session overflows. / ! \
- (Settings > Resources > Disk Image Location in the Docker Desktop application)
- Clone this repo wherever you like.
- Choose between the main branch and the branches specific to the 42 school project you wish to debug.
- Use the script inside the repo like this :
macOS
./dbg-tools -h
./dbg-tools [-b] [work directory]
Linux
./dbg-tools -h|--help
./dbg-tools [-b|--build] [work directory]
-
Drink a coffee while the image builds.
-
When your container's prompt appears it is done !
-
Recompile your project for Linux through the container.
-
enjoy debugging in your GNU enclave (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
- If you don't specify a work directory, your host machine $HOME folder will seamlessly mount to /home in your container.
- If your image is already built, building will be skipped. If you wish to rebuild your image, use the '-b' option.
- Using Valgrind and gdb on macOS.
- You can debug threads and forks with ease with gdb ! https://github.com/Le-Technologue/debug-tools/wiki
- Debugging with the latest version of lldb on macOS.
- No need to retype the arguments of your program after each "r" command in lldb. You can type them ordinarily after your program path when you launch lldb and use a single "r" instruction in lldb to keep using those.
- Lifesaving for projects like push_swap that might need long lists of numbers as parameters, and/or need those generated by another program that can't be called within lldb, like shuf().
