[OE-core] gdb and lttng-ust 0.12

[Cui, Dexuan]

Hi Saul,
I prefer "continue with UST disabled in gdb" for now.

I'm investigating more to get an in-depth understanding about the issue. e.g., ust-0.11 doesn't break building gdb while ust-0.12 does -- however both 0.11 and 0.12 install /usr/include/ust/.

Thanks,

Hi Saul,
Thanks very much for the investigation! 
I can reproduce the issue now when I build gdb after building lttng-ust (previously looks I built them in the reverse order, so didn't catch it.)

I haven't understood why this issue occurred after I upgraded ust from 0.11 to 0.12 as 0.11 actually installs /usr/include/ust, too. And gdb was not upgraded recently.

I'm looking into this now and will update asap.

Thanks,
-- Dexuan

Dexuan,

It seems that when you updated lttng-ust to 0.12, it installed an 
/usr/include/ust directory that GDB now finds.  This caused the 
gdbserver code to not build.

I investigated this and it seems to be due to gdb having a dependency on 
UST that causes GDB not to compile.  I think at this point we may want 
to continue with UST disabled in gdb.

To reproduce this, ensure that lttng-ust-0.12 is built before building 
gdb and you should see a compilation failure.

My concern here is that if fix the GDB compilation failures, what else 
is going to fail as far as debugging with UST enabled on the remote, I 
know this feature is something we want, and should probably report to 
the GDB upstream.

The fix seems to be as simple as adding "--without-ust" to the gdb 
EXTRA_OECONF line.

Comments?

Error while compiling tracepoint.c -> tracepoint-ipa.o (note it's -ipa.o 
so a different set of flags).
