I have a program with a race condition.
On Windows it hits an access violation eventually if I run it in a loop (like very 400 runs).
I want to test it on a Unix system (e.g. GNU/Linux or MacOSX or Solaris or OpenBSD).
On Windows I use:
foo.cmd:
@echo off
setlocal
set a=1
:loop
echo %a%
\bin\x86\cdb -g -G foo.exe
set /a a=a + 1
goto :loop
this runs my program in a loop, in a debugger, until it hits an access violation.
It prints how many times it has run before each run.
-g means go right away at the start of the process
-G means go past the end of the process
By default the debugger stops on access violation (SIGSEGV).
set /a is for "arithmetic" (expression evaluation)
What is the equivalent with gdb/sh? (Or at least gdb).
I've tried a bit with -x and -batch, no luck.
Thanks,
- Jay
