GDB extremely slow (on startup) after update
-
Hello,
I did a system update and now when I want to debug into a breakpoint it takes up to > 60seconds until the debugger shows the locals, and allow to step further.
After the first waiting time the further debugging works normal (no unusual delays here). I didn't change any settings, but I did a system update which also updated QtCreator. In the GDB settings, I've turned the Symbol Cache on/off that does not seem to change a lot.
Any Ideas on how to resolve this? -
Have you removed/ensured there are no existing breakpoints left over from before?
Did you do a "clean" and complete rebuild?
Sounds like it is doing some kind of "search" for something first time. Try running it undergdb
directly outside of Creator? You might try runningstrace gdb
to see what it seems to be doing during the delay?
