使用gdb进行写操作

使用gdb调试程序,读写操作是很普遍的事情。其中,读操作包括:

  • 读取某个变量的值
  • 读取某个内存地址里的内容
  • 读取某个寄存器的值

对应地,写操作包括:

  • 修改某个变量的值
  • 修改某个内存地址里的内容
  • 修改某个寄存器的值

本文将首先简单介绍一下读操作,然后重点介绍一下写操作。

1. 读操作

  • 读取某个变量的值: p <var>
  • 读取某个内存地址里的内容: x /NFU <memaddr>
  • 读取某个寄存器的值: info r <register>

2. 写操作

先上个例子// foo.c

 1 #include <stdio.h>
 2 
 3 typedef enum {false, true} bool;
 4 
 5 static bool g_verbose = 0;
 6 
 7 static void
 8 dump(int a[], int n)
 9 {
10         for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
11                 printf("%-2d ", a[i]);
12         printf("\n");
13 }
14 
15 int main(int argc, char *argv[])
16 {
17         int a[] = {0x1, 0x2, 0x3, 0x4, 0x5};
18         int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(int);
19 
20         if (g_verbose) {
21                 printf("Now dump a[] ...\n");
22                 dump(a, n);
23         }
24 
25         int m = 0;
26         for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
27                 m += a[i];
28 
29         return m;
30 }

在上面的代码中,第5行我们定义了一个变量g_verbose, 其值为false。现在,我们将通过gdb在第20行将其修改为true,给出三种方法,贯穿了修改变量的值,修改内存地址内容和修改寄存器。

2.1 修改某个变量的值

set var <name> = <value>

e.g.

$ gcc -g -Wall -std=c99 -o foo foo.c

$ gdb foo
GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.7.1-0ubuntu5~14.04.3) 7.7.1
...<snip>.......................................................................
(gdb) l main
11                      printf("%-2d ", a[i]);
12              printf("\n");
13      }
14
15      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
16      {
17              int a[] = {0x1, 0x2, 0x3, 0x4, 0x5};
18              int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(int);
19
20              if (g_verbose) {
(gdb) b 20
Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048500: file foo.c, line 20.
(gdb) r
Starting program: /tmp/foo

Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0xbffff054) at foo.c:20
20              if (g_verbose) {
(gdb) p g_verbose
$1 = false
(gdb) set var g_verbose = true
(gdb) p g_verbose
$2 = true
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Now dump a[] ...

2.2 修改某个内存地址里的内容

set *(unsigned char      *)<memaddr> = <value>  ; write 1 byte
set *(unsigned short     *)<memaddr> = <value>  ; write 2 bytes
set *(unsigned int       *)<memaddr> = <value>  ; write 4 bytes
set *(unsigned long long *)<memaddr> = <value>  ; write 8 bytes

or

set *(char      *)<memaddr> = <value>           ; write 1 byte
set *(short     *)<memaddr> = <value>           ; write 2 bytes
set *(int       *)<memaddr> = <value>           ; write 4 bytes
set *(long long *)<memaddr> = <value>           ; write 8 bytes

e.g.

$ gdb foo
GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.7.1-0ubuntu5~14.04.3) 7.7.1
...<snip>.......................................................................
(gdb) l main
11                      printf("%-2d ", a[i]);
12              printf("\n");
13      }
14
15      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
16      {
17              int a[] = {0x1, 0x2, 0x3, 0x4, 0x5};
18              int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(int);
19
20              if (g_verbose) {
(gdb)
21                      printf("Now dump a[] ...\n");
22                      dump(a, n);
23              }
24
25              int m = 0;
26              for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
27                      m += a[i];
28
29              return m;
30      }
(gdb) b 20

2.3 修改某个寄存器的值

set $<register> = <value>

总结: 熟练掌握了gdb的读写操作,对于调试那种release版本的程序bug是相当有帮助的。最近两天,我在一个测试环境中调试一个跟子网掩码有关的bug。TNND可执行程序的符号表已经被删除,而且测试环境中不能clone源代码进行修改后编译(因为源代码保护)。幸运地是,还可以自己安装gdb。 有了gdb, 通过修改某个寄存器的值快速地把debug信息打印了出来,从而有效地缩小了bug存在的代码范围。一句话,gdb很好使,你值得拥有!
