What problems do shared libraries cause with GDB - I've never had any
trouble with it at all - it 'just works' perfectly picking up any
debuginfo
packages from things we link against too. The only GDB issues I see
are its
inability to cope with -O2 optimized code.
I think what they meant is not much related to shared libraries (which
works pretty good with gdb) but with the handling of dynamically-linked
executables and libtool: launching gdb ./virsh will not work, obviously;
you either launch it directly (./.libs/virsh), but most people will
forget to set the proper LD_LIBRARY_PATH entries and thus debug the
installed copy of the libraries, or you pass through libtool, but most
people don't know that.
Alas, working around problems in all kind of ways is what brought us the
doom that libtool complexity is.
