GNU Debugger (GDB)
! Some useful commands
! Ctrl+c: interrupt the current running program so you can use other commands
! info reg (ir): show all current values of the registers
! continue (c): continue to run the program you interrupted
! run (r): run the program
! step (s): executes the next instruction, if the next instruction is a function, this will
step into it
! stepi (si): execute the next machine instruction (useful for inline assembly)
! next (n): executes the next instruction, if the next instruction is a function, this will
execute the entire function
! breakpoint (b): allows you to set breakpoints, either function names or line
numbers, you can also specify file names too.
! Distributed version control system
! Useful commands
! git pull
! git push
! git commit
! git status
! git reset
! git diff
Make & Makefile
! A Makefile is a script that make runs
! Basically you put the compilation command you normally run in the
terminal in this file and give the target a name
! Example:
! Running “make hello” to execute that target. Necessary dependencies
will also be run automatically
! Running “make” with no arguments will run the target “all:” if it exists
! We do not cover this in the lectures / discussions
Environment
! V: class drive, where you find your MP0 materials
! Z: work drive, your VMs and your source codes go here, mounted
as /workdir/ inside the VMs (not mounted in working from home)
! U: EWS Windows home drive, do NOT use this one
! Shortcuts
! test_nodebug
! test_debug
! QEMU troubleshooting
! Check file “C:\qemu-1.5.0-win32-sdl\stderr.txt” if VMs are not starting
Environment
Some useful suggestions
! Always attend lectures and discussions as long as you don’t have
conflicts (which you shouldn’t).
! Use Piazza
! Everything course related will be posted
! Take full advantage of the course website
! homework and MP doc, OH information, syllabus, practice exams and
other useful references.
! Learn Git!
! We use Gitlab for MP code distribution and submission. Make sure you
have access to Gitlab through your netID.
! For office hour, we have a website to keep track of question queue
and TA’s effort to guarantee fairness.
Some useful suggestions
! Make sure to start early on MPs.
! Think and read before you raise any questions.
! Questions are highly welcome, but we will be more glad to help if we
know that you’ve already put some effort looking for answers. (RTDC =
Read The Document Carefully)
! Kind feedbacks to the course are always welcome.
! Do NOT cheat
! Have fun!
