Error Segmentation fault

Hi

Can someone explain why this is occuring?:

/tmp/Microsoft-MIEngine-Cmd-vwck80tg.cmu: line 2: 26010 Segmentation fault "/usr/bin/gdb" --interpreter=mi --tty=$DbgTerm < "/tmp/Microsoft-MIEngine-In-maxuldtf.8re" > "/tmp/Microsoft-MIEngine-Out-ppbm2189.vli"

@azuric It sounds like gdbis crashing with a Segmentation fault. Can you run gdb manually with the --interpreter=mi flag against your executable and see if it works?

Hi @pieandcakes, I faced with the same issue as well. /tmp/Microsoft-MIEngine-Cmd-f1wgyfm4.5lb: line 2: 18214 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "/usr/bin/gdb" --interpreter=mi --tty=$DbgTerm < "/tmp/Microsoft-MIEngine-In-l4pj20ih.r15" > "/tmp/Microsoft-MIEngine-Out-qz1ueems.v15"

I run the gdb manually and put breakpoints to the same lines, which throws seg. fault, and the result is the same. I think the problem is about g++ gdb side, not related to VS Code. But the behavior is quite strange, I would say. I had the problem with following codes:

I have 2 classes ( derived and base) I have another file for helper function to display derived and base class attributes etc. I am creating object from the classes and pushing back to the vector. In the helper function, with range based for loop, I am trying to iterate over them and at the beginning of the for loop gdb crashes. At the terminal, I see the *stopped,reason="end-stepping-range" FYI.

Hi @ArduinoHocam , i am facing the same issue, did you get any solution?

@pieandcakes i tried to run gdb using command line it is working fine but when i launch using launcher.json it gives me the same error

/tmp/Microsoft-MIEngine-Cmd-tzitmyxf.dfn: line 2: 28315 Segmentation fault "/usr/bin/gdb" --interpreter=mi --tty=$DbgTerm < "/tmp/Microsoft-MIEngine-In-nqusu1sl.of2" > "/tmp/Microsoft-MIEngine-Out-mzbfe3ik.yy0"

Thanks

Hi, It's been a while for this issue but as far as I remember, it was related to VSCode and thus I just skipped that :(

@ArduinoHocam @afzaalhussain50 Were either of you able to figure out a solution? Encountering the same issue.

[afzaalhussain50]

@n1ckmoore I searched a lot and didn't found the reason and verified solution, but a hack worked for me "try to restart your system and then try again".

I was using vscode with wsl2 when i faced this issue.

Hi,

I have encountered this issue as well, and it turned out that my build was not compatible with that version of GDB, and I resolved the issue by trying a newer version GDB.
