使用 GDB 调试 Android 应用

GNU 工程调试器(GDB)是一个常用的 Unix 调试器。本文详述使用 gdb 调试 Android 应用和进程的方法。

调试运行中的应用或进程

gdbclient 是源码库中的一个 shell 脚本调试工具,它位于 android-7.1.1_r22/development/scripts/gdbclient。该脚本将根据 Android 源码库的根目录,设置端口转发,在设备上启动适当的 gdbserver,在主机上启动适当的 gdb,配置 gdb 查找符号,并将 gdb 连接到远程的 gdbserver

在执行 gdbclient 首先需要设置 ANDROID_BUILD_TOP 环境变量,这个环境变量可以手动设置,如:

1
/media/data/Androids/android-7.1.1_r22$ export ANDROID_BUILD_TOP=/media/data/Androids/android-7.1.1_r22

也可以通过如下命令设置:

也就是 Android 源码库编译前配置。

如果没有设置 ANDROID_BUILD_TOP 环境变量的话,在执行 gdbclient 时将报出如下的错误:

1
2
/media/data/Androids/android-7.1.1_r22$ development/scripts/gdbclient
$ANDROID_BUILD_TOP is not set. Source build/envsetup.sh.

有了前面的那些配置,即可使用 gdbclient 调试 Android 应用程序了。要连接一个已经在运行的应用或本地层守护进程,则以 PID 作为参数执行 gdbclient。比如,要调试 PID 为 1234 的进程,则运行:

1
$ gdbclient 1234

它会为我们准备一切。

调试本地进程启动

要调试进程的启动,则使用 gdbservergdbserver64 (64 位进程)。比如:

1
$ adb shell gdbserver64 :5039 /system/bin/screenrecord

示例输出如下:

1
2
Process /system/bin/screenrecord created; pid = 12571
Listening on port 5039

接着,从 gdbserver 的输出中得到应用程序的 PID,并在另一个终端窗口中使用如下命令:

1
$ gdbclient 12571

最后,在 gdb 提示符下键入 continue

使用的 gdbserver 与实际运行的应用程序格式不匹配时,在执行 gdbclient 时将报出如下的错误:

It looks like gdbserver is already attached to 12484 (process is traced), trying to connect to it using local port=5039
