14.25.1.3 Java corefile debugging support
HP WDB shows stack traces of mixed Java, C, and C++ programs for java corefile.
GDB_JAVA_UNWINDLIB
environment variable must be set to the path name of the Java
unwind library as explained above.
Following are examples that illustrate the gdb command-line options for invoking gdb
on a core file:
1. Invoke gdb on a core file generated when running a 32-bit Java application on an
Integrity system with /opt/java1.4/bin/java:
$ gdb /opt/java1.4/bin/IA64N/java core.java
2. Invoke gdb on a core file generated when running a 64-bit Java application on an
Integrity system with /opt/java1.4/bin/java -d64:
$ gdb /opt/java1.4/bin/IA64W/java core.java
3. Invoke gdb on a core file generated when running a 32-bit Java application on
PA-RISC using /opt/java1.4/bin/java:
$ gdb /opt/java1.4/bin/PA_RISC2.0/java core.java
4. Invoke gdb on a core file generated when running a 64-bit Java application on
PA-RISC using /opt/java1.4/bin/java:
$ gdb /opt/java1.4/bin/PA_RISC2.0W/java core.java
When debugging a core file, it is good practice to rename the file from core to another
name to avoid accidentally overwriting it.
If the Java and system libraries used by the failed application reside in non-standard
locations, then the GDB_SHLIB_PATH environment variable must be set to specify the
location of the libraries.
14.25.1.4 Java attach mode debugging support
HP WDB supports java debugging in attach mode also. GDB_JAVA_UNWINDLIB
environment variable must be set to the path name of the Java unwind library. From
gdb version 5.6 and later versions, GDB JAVA UNWINDLIB environment variable need
not be set to the path name of the Java unwind library. HP WDB uses the
libjunwind.sl
specified by the Java Virtual Machine.
The following examples illustrate how to invoke gdb on a hung process:
1. Determine the process id:
$ ps -u user1 | grep java
