Question

In GDB, the command:

list function

will list all the source for the function.

Is there a command that will list all of the source of the function you are currently in, without requiring you to manually type the function name?

Answer 1

(gdb) help list
List specified function or line.
With no argument, lists ten more lines after or around previous listing.
"list -" lists the ten lines before a previous ten-line listing.
One argument specifies a line, and ten lines are listed around that line.
Two arguments with comma between specify starting and ending lines to list.
Lines can be specified in these ways:
  LINENUM, to list around that line in current file,
  FILE:LINENUM, to list around that line in that file,
  FUNCTION, to list around beginning of that function,
  FILE:FUNCTION, to distinguish among like-named static functions.
  *ADDRESS, to list around the line containing that address.
With two args if one is empty it stands for ten lines away from the other arg.

The *ADDRESS is what is interesting.

On x86/x64 current pointer is in rip register so:

(gdb) list *$pc
0x7ffff7b018a0 is at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:82.
77  in ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S

The example is from cat command as I don’t have anything with debug info at hand.
