gdb: "No symbol table is loaded"
First of all, what you have is a fully compiled program, not an object file, so drop the .o
extension. Now, pay attention to what the error message says, it tells you exactly how to fix your problem: "No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command."
(gdb) exec-file test(gdb) b 2No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.(gdb) file testReading symbols from /home/user/test/test...done.(gdb) b 2Breakpoint 1 at 0x80483ea: file test.c, line 2.(gdb)
Or just pass the program on the command line.
