Since the private loader, debugging in gdb has been cumbersome because I have to copy and paste the symbol file lines every time the app crashes and I need to restart it. In a past internship I worked on an interface for gdb which was intended to be used by JIT compilers to communicate debug information about generated code to gdb. I was thinking that we might be able to use this interface to have DynamoRIO automatically add symbol files to gdb. In debug mode, we can do this by default Here's the interface: http://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/JIT-Interface.html I'll look into making this happen.
