R 包：在 Debian 中使用 gdb 为 C 函数设置断点（测试）

Question

我想从我的包中调试一个 C 函数。

我想用 gdb 检查执行情况，尽管我发现很难设置断点。

遵循 4.4.1 在动态加载的代码中查找入口点 来自 Writing R Extensions:

1) 在 R 可执行文件上调用调试器，例如通过 R -d gdb。

l@np350v5c:~$ R -d gdb

(gdb)

2) 启动R.

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R --no-save --no-restore -q

3) 在 R 提示符下，使用 dyn.load 或库加载您的共享对象。

> library(ifctools)

4)发送中断信号。这将使您回到调试器提示符。

> # <-- Ctrl + C here
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
0x00007ffff71202b3 in select () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:81
81                 ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S: File o directory non esistente.

5) 在代码中设置断点。 我需要查看的 c 函数是称为 reg_guess_fc.

(gdb) b reg_guess_fc
Breakpoint 1 at 0x7fffe0e8de50: file reg_guess_fc.c, line 13.

6) 通过输入信号 0RET 继续执行 R。

(gdb) signal 0 [ENTER]
Continuing with no signal.
[ENTER AGAIN]
> #Now i believe i'm supposed to call code breakpointed, so
> example(guess_fc)

gss_fc> ## using fictious data
gss_fc> Surnames <- c("Rossi", "Bianchi")

gss_fc> Names <- c("Mario", "Giovanna")

gss_fc> Birthdates <- as.Date(c("1960-01-01", "1970-01-01"))

gss_fc> Female <- c(FALSE, TRUE)

gss_fc> Comune_of_birth <- c("F205", # milan
gss_fc                       "H501") # rome

gss_fc> guess_fc(Surnames, Names, Birthdates, Female, Comune_of_birth)
[1] TRUE TRUE

换句话说，C 函数 reg_guess_fc，由 R 函数 guess_fc 调用没有在第 1 行停止，因为我希望像上面那样设置断点。我错过了什么？

如果有帮助，包是here。

Answer 1

guess_fc() calls

rval <- .Call("reg_wrong_fc", surname, name, year, month, 
    day, female, codice_catastale, PACKAGE = "ifctools")

所以也许您只是没有调用您认为的 C 代码？（我会输入 c 以 (c) 继续执行，而不是 signal 0。）
