Actually this should be really simple and doable in r17, right?
Including dalvik.gdb is easy.
Something needs to be done with ndk-gdb, because that script assumes the pre-Studio Android project + ndk-build. It doesn't work with either CMake and/or Gradle projects.
Yeah, worth filing a bug to track the latter, but we can at least get dalvik.gdb into r17.
For dalvik.gdb's art-on
to work, we need to pull libart.so
from the device, but it won't be there on Jelly Bean, so I'll check whether it exists before pulling it.
The existence of /system/lib[64]/libart.so
doesn't imply the use of ART (instead of Dalvik) on older devices, so I suppose we'll need to detect whether ART is in use. Maybe something like if &art_sigsegv_fault != 0
?
Apparently the art_sigsegv_fault
breakpoint method isn't reliable until P because it can be inlined: (http://b/77528455, and maybe http://b/77492857 too)
maybe until we can do all the support work, we should just have some docs somewhere pointing to the platform dalvik.gdb and recommending it?
Refiled from internal issue http://b/23715351:
without this, debugging stuff with art is a PITA:
