Colorful print issue with peda #19

Closed BrieflyX closed 7 years ago

BrieflyX commented 7 years ago

After the modification of printing utils, I found this version couldn't work well with peda. I used to utilize source libheap.py in my .gdbinit. But it tampered peda's running and messed up the color print.

I'll look into this soon, although personally I have moved to pwndbg and voltron as more modern replacements for the peda frontend.

Well I don't know enough about the peda internals to fix this currently but it looks like a conflict with peda's buffering code. The following diff fixes it for me so both peda and libheap colors work:

Since I think this is an issue on the peda side I'm closing this issue.

hi @BrieflyX

I just finished rewriting a lot of the library. There is glibc support up until 2.25 now. There is still no ARM/raspberry pi support but that is a future TODO (I've only had time to test Intel 32/64bit). Thank you very much for all of your pull requests and Issues! Please let me know if you find any more bugs. I hope this solved your peda issue as well.
