ndk-gdb tools for NDK r11. where do I find them?


The NDK r11 that was just released.
release notes state: Removed ndk-gdb in favor of ndk-gdb.py

However there doesn't appear to be any gdb tools anywhere in the r11 NDK package. What am I missing. Is this now a separate tool that has to be tied in some how? Was it a gross oversight by the NDK gods? I peaked at my old ndk r10e and there is indeed both ndk-gdb and ndk-gdb.py so I know the python script at least existed there. Are these items I can port over from my R10e version. I know the ndk-gdb script was always breaking on me with some periodic tweaks needed. I've never used the python script so I guess really my question is two fold.

Where do I get/install/configure ndk-gdb.py and how do I use it. Is it vastly different than the old ndk-gdb shell script.

Any insight or help is greatly appreciated.


Solution

  • Update to the latest NDK r11b release, a bug related to ndk-gdb.py was fixed in that version: https://github.com/android-ndk/ndk/issues/3
