前言

经常在Windows上开发的工程师们可能已经习惯了图形化的调试界面，在源代码的编辑框上点击就可以添加断点，在调用堆栈的窗口就可以看到程序运行的堆栈信息，但是在 linux 环境下，面对命令行的天下，我们需要掌握一些命令，才能够查看C/C++程序的堆栈信息。

[albert@localhost#13:58:34#/home/albert]$cat /etc/issue
CentOS release 6.3 (Final)
Kernel \r on an \m

[albert@localhost#13:58:43#/home/albert]$g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-18)

查看方法

  1. 使用gdb程序调试core文件，格式为 gdb test_proc core.proc_id

  2. 使用gdb程序附加到调试程序的进程上，格式为 gdb attach proc_id

  3. 使用pstack程序输出调试程序的堆栈信息，格式为 pstack proc_id

  4. 使用strace程序打印调试程序的运行信息，格式为 strace -p proc_id

具体实践

  • 一般查看堆栈信息时常常面对的都是多线程的程序，所以我们也来写一个简单的多线程小程序，代码如下：

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <pthread.h>
    #include <unistd.h>

    static void* thread_proc(void* arg)
    {
        unsigned int sum = 3;
        while(true)
        {
            for (int idx = 0; idx < 1000000000; ++idx)
                sum += idx;

            printf("thread sum = %u\n", sum);
            sleep(2);
        }

        return 0;
    }

    int main()
    {
        pthread_t thread_id;
        pthread_create(&thread_id, NULL, thread_proc, NULL);
        unsigned int sum = 0;

        while(true)
        {
            for (int idx = 0; idx < 1000000000; ++idx)
                sum += idx;

            printf("main sum = %u\n", sum);
            sleep(1);
        }

        return 0;
    }

  • 编译程序并运行，程序开始不断的打印计算结果

    [albert@localhost#15:08:27#/home/albert/test/threadtest]$./threadtest
    thread sum = 3051657987
    main sum = 3051657984
    thread sum = 1808348675
    main sum = 1808348672
    main sum = 565039360
    thread sum = 565039363
    main sum = 3616697344
    thread sum = 3616697347
    ...

  • 现在可以通过上面描述的方法来查看threadtest程序堆栈信息了，几乎所有的命令都需要进程id，所以我们可以再开一个终端先通过pidof命令来获得：

    [albert@localhost#15:39:35#/home/albert/test/threadtest]$pidof threadtest

gdb调试core文件

  1. 通过kill命令产生core文件

    使用命令 kill -11 21473可以将正在运行的程序杀死，并且产生core文件core.21473，-11表示段错误信号，通常是访问了无效的内存导致

  2. 通过gcore命令产生core文件

    使用命令 gcore 21473可以产生core文件core.21473，但是不会杀死程序，适用于调试线上程序，又不影响用户使用的情况，可以测试一下：

总结

  • 在解决实际问题的过程中，上述几种方法可以结合使用，选取合适的使用方法，比如面对程序突然崩溃，那么gdb proc core就是调试的首选方法。
  • 如果只是想简单的查看堆栈信息，可以使用pstack pid这种方式，免去了生成巨大core文件的麻烦。
  • 如果还想查看运行逻辑中的变量信息，那么gdb使我们可以帮助我们动态调试程序，查看一些程序运行时的状态。
