调试 Xfce

当然,我们都知道 Xfce 是 bugfree and stable as a rock。所以这份 HOWTO 没啥存在的理由。

可是,一些(yet)未知的原因,会引起应用程序崩溃。我们不确定这些神奇事件的源头。有些人亲眼目睹 Rodents 的存在,这中间可能有些联系,但不确切。

不管怎样,如果有神秘事件发生,这一种可以帮助开发都解决问题的手段:

确认崩溃

当应用程序崩溃时,它通常会由于 SIG_SEGV 信号,或段错误退出。这意味着该操作系统检测到应用程序试图访问不允许访问的内存块(段)。操作系统向应用程序发送信号,从而引起应用程序立即中止。

如果应用程序从终端启动,输出可能像下面这样:

stephan@hermes:~$ ristretto
段错误
stephan@hermes:~$

这条消息只是简短的描述,让我们尝试找出它崩溃的原因。

在调试器中运行程序

要找出应用程序为什么崩溃,首先要在调试器中运行它。 GNU/Linux 上最常用的调试器是 gdb(GNU 调试器)。

使用 gdb ,你只用从命令行里启动它,把要调试应用程序作为它第一个参数,看下面的例子:

stephan@hermes:~$ gdb ristretto 
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.3-debian
Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html>
This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.

This GDB was configured as "x86_64-linux-gnu".
For bug reporting instructions, please see:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/>...
Reading symbols from /usr/local/bin/ristretto...done.
(gdb) 

现在 gdb 是启动了,但应用程序还没有做任何事情。 要启动的应用程序,键入run,一些你可能想给应用程序的参数,然后按Enter

现在,如果应用程序没有立即崩溃,你可以看到它启动了并且调试器里出现几行字。(见下面的例子)

...
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/ristretto 
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

现在,执行让应用程序崩溃所需的动作。下一步的调试器看起来像这样:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/ristretto 
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
[New Thread 0x7fffe5780700 (LWP 26386)]

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000004206f9 in rstto_monitor_chooser_paint (widget=0x6f1d60)
    at monitor_chooser.c:300
warning: Source file is more recent than executable.
300	                if (monitor->width > monitor->height)
(gdb) 

当然,应用程序的不同,或 bug 的不同会有不同的输出,所以如果输出不一样不用担心。

下一步是得到一个所谓的“回溯”(backtrace)。回溯可以追踪到导致应用程序崩溃的流程:

将它复制到一个文本文件中,并把它添加到 https://bugzilla.xfce.org/ 的 bug 报告。

但如果回溯的最后一行以 0x000000000000(空指针)开始, then the backtrace is not of any good。应用程序跳转到一个空指针,然后在内存里瞎跑一阵最后死掉。如果是这种情况,请尝试使用 valgrind 。 –(未完待续)
