    Description

      Attaching to process only shows disassembly

      The situation:
      Linux cgi build under qt. When it starts there is a delay, allowing me to attach to the process, which is started from a web form. (pid is owned by me still).
      When I attach to the process only the disassembly shows. No source. Debugging without attaching is no problem.

      qtcreator shows error

      target:/home/chris/testsite.com/public_html/cgi-bin/webtest": could not open as an executable file: Operation not permitted.
      `target:/home/chris/testsite.com/public_html/cgi-bin/webtest': can't open to read symbols: Operation not permitted.
      Could not load vsyscall page because no executable was specified

      If I use dgb and attach to the pid I can list the source.
      But am unable to step (Cannot find bounds of current function)

      If I start debugging the process with qtcreator, it shows source and steps normally.

      ls -l webtest
      -rwxrwxr-x 1 chris chris 11240 Jul 10 15:05 webtest

      shows that permissions are not a problem

      ps aux | greb webtest shows:

      chris 6883 0.0 0.0 4376 756 ? S 15:35 0:00 /var/www/testsite.com/public_html/cgi-bin/webtest

      So the user is me.

       

      Sample code:
      #include <stdio.h>
      #include <unistd.h>
      
      # define UNUSED(x) (void)x;
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
      UNUSED(argc);
      UNUSED(argv);
         if (access("pause",0)==0) {
         int g=100;
            while(g>0) { // for debugging
               sleep(1);
               if(access("pause",0)!=0)
                   g = 0;
               g--;
            }
         }
         printf("past the pause");
         return 0;
      }
