Debugging
---------
Assuming that you have built nacl/amd64p32 binary ./mybin and can run as:
% sel_ldr_x86_64 -l /dev/null -S -e ./mybin
Create the nacl manifest file mybin.manifest with the following contents:
{ "program": { "x86-64": { "url": "mybin" } } }
url is the path to the binary relative to the manifest file.
Then, run the program as:
% sel_ldr_x86_64 -g -l /dev/null -S -e ./mybin
The -g flag instructs the loader to stop at startup. Then, in another console:
% /opt/nacl_sdk/pepper_34/toolchain/linux_x86_glibc/bin/x86_64-nacl-gdb
% nacl-manifest mybin.manifest
% target remote :4014
If you see that the program is stopped in _rt0_amd64p32_nacl, then symbols are
loaded successfully and you can type 'c' to start the program.
Next time you can automate it as:
% /opt/nacl_sdk/pepper_34/toolchain/linux_x86_glibc/bin/x86_64-nacl-gdb \
-ex 'nacl-manifest mybin.manifest' -ex 'target remote :4014'
