Say I have a build machine and test machine and the source code is only on the build machine. (Linux)
I have a debug build C/C++ executable and I want to run it with gdb on the test machine.
In the debugger running on the test machine it is still looking for the actual source files which are not there.
Is there a way to have g++ actual include the source in the executable itself with the other debug information so files are not needed?
There is no way to have the source compiled into the binary to allow gdb debugging in this manner.
Probably the best mechanism in this case is to use gdbserver – which allows you to run the application remotely and debug it on the build machine.
If you can’t use remote debugging, then an alternative is to mount the directory containing the source on the test machine, and then use the
set substitute-pathto map the directory that the test machine has vs. the build machine.
