http://stackoverflow.com – We are trying to implement the customized gdb tool for specific environment. We have Linux- Centos operating systems. Trying to implement the gdb functionality with some customization. Our tool will be attached to the PID (already running process), which will start debugging session. we would like to read the symbols information (symbol table) and print as much as possible information of symbols (mainly the data type, address and size). We are able to read the symbol table using the readelf, file commands in gdb, and able to print some information related to local/global variables. But we (HowTos)

Stories similar to reading type,address,size of variables from symbol table. Which is built using gnu tools (like gmake or gcc)

Hi ,

I am ok in c programming but poor in internals of C.

the things like

internals of the compiler ( lexical analyzer , hashtables, parsers , symbol tables etc..)

please if any one has some idea or any links please share me .

Compilation using gcc -s and Unix strip remove all symbol table and relocation information from an executable (making it smaller in size).

Could this ever affect the functioning of the executable? Do some operating systems which perform ASLR need this information? If not, why keep them around in the first place?

A slightly-detailed overview of the above would be helpful.

I am trying to extract all the global symbols (with name and corresponding values) of a C code from core file (core.pid file, generated when the code crashes).

This is one way to do, but it extracts symbols while code is executing: For example, we have list_globals.py script, and any C code which is crashing. suppose c_code.c.

I am working on some diagnostic tools to help locate memory issues on an embedded ARM platform. Due to memory constraints, I can't load all symbols for all libraries on the unit itself.

MAC address table in Windows 40 weeks 6 days ago

How can I see the MAC address table of a Windows network bridge? Is it possible trough command line to find this information?

EDIT: I am interested to see the same table that it is possible to see in the managed switches (e.g. like the Cisco's show mac-address-table or Linux brctl showmacs br0)

We noticed some stray packets from our switch going out ports they should not have.

After clearing the cam table with clear mac address-table the problem seems to have gone away. Our best theory at the moment is that the table got flooded at some point causing the switch to exhibit this hub like behavior.

Does anyone know if the size of the table can be monitored via SNMP so we can track this?

The unicode title identifications are correct for the codes but the symbols are switched. EOT ␄ is the same as ctrl-D but unfortunately the wrong symbol is used.

In Java Swing, I could use JPanel to customize the click button for each area in the table; however there is no such equivalent JPanel for Android. So what's widget should I use to implement this type of behavior? More specifically, each number in the table should be clickable.

I have been looking for a tool to synchronize tables from 2 different databases and found pt-sync-table.
