GDBStub not working - Leseratte10 - 06-09-2020
I was trying to do some game debugging with gdb, and I enabled the USE_GDBSTUB compile option to enable that in Dolphin.
The GDB port is open, I can connect to it using gdb (target remote 127.1:port), but then I get errors in GDB:
Code:
(gdb) target remote 127.1:33345
Remote debugging using 127.1:33345
Ignoring packet error, continuing...
warning: unrecognized item "timeout" in "qSupported" response
Ignoring packet error, continuing...
Remote replied unexpectedly to 'vMustReplyEmpty': timeout
(gdb)I found this old thread where someone was trying to use it, but it seems as if it didn't work for him:

Then I found this PR ( https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/8262 ) which fixed something with the GDB Stub, but also states that it doesn't quite work at the moment.
Is there anything I can do to get this to work? It'd be cool to use Dolphin's GDB feature to debug my Wii stuff, as I can't easily include the libogc GDB library for multiple reasons.
Is it planned to improve / fix that GDB stub again at some point?

I suspect if you want the GDB stub to work for you, you'll have to fix it and submit a PR. Hope that doesn't sound like a cop-out answer. Last I looked it had the basic functions implemented and only worked with the interpreter core. The built-in debugger in Dolphin was what most of us used.
