qibuild.gdb - Tools for gdb

Tools for the GNU debugger

qibuild.gdb.contains_debug_info(filename, objdump=None)

Check that an elf contains debug info

qibuild.gdb.split_debug(src, objcopy=None, objdump=None)

Split the debug information in the src binary.

The debug information will be put in a .debug directory next to the executable

<base_dir>/bin/foo <base_dir>/bin/.debug/foo

Also uses objcopy so that the binaries and libraries still remain usable with gdb
