Hi,
I am debugging a program, the source files scatter around many different
places. When I start gdb and load the executable, I am prompted
"<path1>/gui_main.c:there is no such file or directory". The "path1" is not
right, there is no such directory at all.
My question is how come gdb tries to load gui_main.c from path1? What is
the logic under the hood?
The problem is even worse, gui_main.c is not my file, it must be from one
of libraries I link with. But I have no idea where it is.
I run ldd against the program and I see a lot of shared libraries, so my
question is how I can know which library is this "gui_main" from? Or maybe
it is in the executable itself? How can I know that?
Thanks.
