Breakpoints on JITted code

Hi, I've recently implemented a simple gdb plugin [0] for a JIT I'm working on. Lineinfo is working well, but I was expecting to be able to set breakpoints on the names of JITted code functions (where the name is the one passed to the `name` argument of block_open()), but this doesn't appear to be the case. gdb allows me to set a pending breakpoint, but doesn't stop when a JITted function of that name is reached. Should I be able to set breakpoints by name for JITted code functions? I'm using gdb-13.1 on Debian/amd64. I tried with gdb-14.2, but something about my plugin causes gdb to crash with: ``` internal-error: sect_index_text not initialized". ``` Applying this patch [1] doesn't make that go away: Cheers [0] https://github.com/ykjit/yk/blob/master/ykrt/yk_gdb_plugin/yk_gdb_plugin.c [1] https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25678#c5 -- Best Regards Edd Barrett https://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
