我們在用C/C++語言寫程序的時侯,內(nèi)存管理的絕大部分工作都是需要我們來做的。實(shí)際上,內(nèi)存管理是一個比較繁瑣的工作,無論你多高明,經(jīng)驗(yàn)多豐富,難
免會在此處犯些小錯誤,而通常這些錯誤又是那么的淺顯而易于消除。但是手工“除蟲”(debug),往往是效率低下且讓人厭煩的,本文將就"段錯誤"這個
內(nèi)存訪問越界的錯誤談?wù)勅绾慰焖俣ㄎ贿@些"段錯誤"的語句。
下面將就以下的一個存在段錯誤的程序介紹幾種調(diào)試方法:
1 dummy_function (void) 2 { 3 unsigned char *ptr = 0x00; 4 *ptr = 0x00; 5 } 6 7 int main (void) 8 { 9 dummy_function (); 10 11 return 0; 12 }
|
作為一個熟練的C/C++程序員,以上代碼的bug應(yīng)該是很清楚的,因?yàn)樗鼑L試操作地址為0的內(nèi)存區(qū)域,而這個內(nèi)存區(qū)域通常是不可訪問的禁區(qū),當(dāng)然就會出錯了。我們嘗試編譯運(yùn)行它:
xiaosuo@gentux test $ ./a.out 段錯誤
|
果然不出所料,它出錯并退出了。
1.利用gdb逐步查找段錯誤:這種方法也是被大眾所熟知并廣泛采用的方法,首先我們需要一個帶有調(diào)試信息的可執(zhí)行程序,所以我們加上“-g -rdynamic"的參數(shù)進(jìn)行編譯,然后用gdb調(diào)試運(yùn)行這個新編譯的程序,具體步驟如下:
xiaosuo@gentux test $ gcc -g -rdynamic d.c xiaosuo@gentux test $ gdb ./a.out GNU gdb 6.5 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions. Type "show copying" to see the conditions.

(gdb) r Starting program: /home/xiaosuo/test/a.out
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x08048524 in dummy_function () at d.c:4 4 *ptr = 0x00; (gdb)
|
哦?!好像不用一步步調(diào)試我們就找到了出錯位置d.c文件的第4行,其實(shí)就是如此的簡單。
從這里我們還發(fā)現(xiàn)進(jìn)程是由于收到了SIGSEGV信號而結(jié)束的。通過進(jìn)一步的查閱文檔(man 7 signal),我們知道SIGSEGV默認(rèn)handler的動作是打印”段錯誤"的出錯信息,并產(chǎn)生Core文件,由此我們又產(chǎn)生了方法二。
2.分析Core文件:Core文件是什么呢?
The default action of certain signals is to cause a process to
terminate and produce a core dump file, a disk file containing an image
of the process's memory at the time of termination. A list of the
signals which cause a process to dump core can be found in signal(7). |
以
上資料摘自man page(man 5
core)。不過奇怪了,我的系統(tǒng)上并沒有找到core文件。后來,憶起為了漸少系統(tǒng)上的拉圾文件的數(shù)量(本人有些潔癖,這也是我喜歡Gentoo的原因
之一),禁止了core文件的生成,查看了以下果真如此,將系統(tǒng)的core文件的大小限制在512K大小,再試:
xiaosuo@gentux test $ ulimit -c 0 xiaosuo@gentux test $ ulimit -c 1000 xiaosuo@gentux test $ ulimit -c 1000 xiaosuo@gentux test $ ./a.out 段錯誤 (core dumped) xiaosuo@gentux test $ ls a.out core d.c f.c g.c pango.c test_iconv.c test_regex.c
|
core文件終于產(chǎn)生了,用gdb調(diào)試一下看看吧:
xiaosuo@gentux test $ gdb ./a.out core GNU gdb 6.5 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

哇,好歷害,還是一步就定位到了錯誤所在地,佩服一下Linux/Unix系統(tǒng)的此類設(shè)計(jì)。
接著考慮下去,以前用windows系統(tǒng)下的ie的時侯,有時打開某些網(wǎng)頁,會出現(xiàn)“運(yùn)行時錯誤”,這個時侯如果恰好你的機(jī)器上又裝有windows的編譯器的話,他會彈出來一個對話框,問你是否進(jìn)行調(diào)試,如果你選擇是,編譯器將被打開,并進(jìn)入調(diào)試狀態(tài),開始調(diào)試。
Linux下如何做到這些呢?我的大腦飛速地旋轉(zhuǎn)著,有了,讓它在SIGSEGV的handler中調(diào)用gdb,于是第三個方法又誕生了:
3.段錯誤時啟動調(diào)試:
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <signal.h> #include <string.h>
void dump(int signo) { char buf[1024]; char cmd[1024]; FILE *fh;
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "/proc/%d/cmdline", getpid()); if(!(fh = fopen(buf, "r"))) exit(0); if(!fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), fh)) exit(0); fclose(fh); if(buf[strlen(buf) - 1] == '\n') buf[strlen(buf) - 1] = '\0'; snprintf(cmd, sizeof(cmd), "gdb %s %d", buf, getpid()); system(cmd);
exit(0); }
void dummy_function (void) { unsigned char *ptr = 0x00; *ptr = 0x00; }
int main (void) { signal(SIGSEGV, &dump); dummy_function ();
return 0; }
|
編譯運(yùn)行效果如下:
xiaosuo@gentux test $ gcc -g -rdynamic f.c xiaosuo@gentux test $ ./a.out GNU gdb 6.5 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

怎么樣?是不是依舊很酷?
以上方法都是在系統(tǒng)上有g(shù)db的前提下進(jìn)行的,如果沒有呢?其實(shí)glibc為我們提供了此類能夠dump棧內(nèi)容的函數(shù)簇,詳見/usr/include/execinfo.h(這些函數(shù)都沒有提供man page,難怪我們找不到),另外你也可以通過
gnu的手冊進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)。
4.利用backtrace和objdump進(jìn)行分析:重寫的代碼如下:
#include <execinfo.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <signal.h>
/* A dummy function to make the backtrace more interesting. */ void dummy_function (void) { unsigned char *ptr = 0x00; *ptr = 0x00; }
void dump(int signo) { void *array[10]; size_t size; char **strings; size_t i;
size = backtrace (array, 10); strings = backtrace_symbols (array, size);
printf ("Obtained %zd stack frames.\n", size);
for (i = 0; i < size; i++) printf ("%s\n", strings[i]);
free (strings);
exit(0); }
int main (void) { signal(SIGSEGV, &dump); dummy_function ();
return 0; }
|
編譯運(yùn)行結(jié)果如下:
xiaosuo@gentux test $ gcc -g -rdynamic g.c xiaosuo@gentux test $ ./a.out Obtained 5 stack frames. ./a.out(dump+0x19) [0x80486c2] [0xffffe420] ./a.out(main+0x35) [0x804876f] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0xb7e02866] ./a.out [0x8048601]
|
這次你可能有些失望,似乎沒能給出足夠的信息來標(biāo)示錯誤,不急,先看看能分析出來什么吧,用objdump反匯編程序,找到地址0x804876f對應(yīng)的代碼位置:
xiaosuo@gentux test $ objdump -d a.out
|
8048765: e8 02 fe ff ff call 804856c <signal@plt> 804876a: e8 25 ff ff ff call 8048694 <dummy_function> 804876f: b8 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%eax 8048774: c9 leave
|
我們還是找到了在哪個函數(shù)(dummy_function)中出錯的,信息已然不是很完整,不過有總比沒有好的啊!
后記:本文給出了分析"段錯誤"的幾種方法,不要認(rèn)為這是與孔乙己先生的"回"字四種寫法一樣的哦,因?yàn)槊糠N方法都有其自身的適用范圍和適用環(huán)境,請酌情使用,或遵醫(yī)囑。
