printing Chromium types with gdb

[ziran]

Hi,

I followed 

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxDebugging#Printing_Chromium_types

first created a ~/.gdbinit  as follows -

python

import sys

sys.path.insert(0, "~/Blink/blink-linux/src/third_party/WebKit/Tools/gdb/")

import webkit

sys.path.insert(0, "~/Blink/blink-linux/src/tools/gdb/")

import gdb_chrome

While run gdb, I have  -

GNU gdb (Ubuntu/Linaro 7.4-2012.04-0ubuntu2.1) 7.4-2012.04

.....

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<string>", line 5, in <module>

ImportError: No module named gdb_chrome

So I removed the gdb_chrome section in .gdbinit , and run gdb as follows -

gdb --args ./out/Debug/content_shell --single-process  ~/Blink/own_scripts/test1.html. I have

Reading symbols from /home/local/SERILOCAL/z.sun/Blink/blink-linux/src/out/Debug/content_shell...done.

(gdb) r

Starting program: /home/local/SERILOCAL/z.sun/Blink/blink-linux/src/out/Debug/content_shell --single-process /home/local/SERILOCAL/z.sun/Blink/own_scripts/test1.html

[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".

The program just halt in this step doesn't move further - even I left it for overnight. 

What have I missed or done wrong? Please advise. 

Thanks

I doubt that sys.path.insert() will expand the "~", so this is probably why it can't resolve the modules.

Try using an absolute path instead.

You are right. Absolute path solved the issue. 

Thanks very much.
