在GDB中打印或检查信号量计数值

Question

我正在尝试使用ACE信号量库实现线程池。它不提供任何API，如sem_getvalue是Posix信号量。我需要调试一些不按预期行为的流。我可以检查GDB中的信号量吗?我使用Centos作为操作系统。

使用提供计数0和10的默认构造函数初始化了两个信号量。我在类中将它们声明为静态，并在cpp文件中将其初始化为

DP_Semaphore ThreadPool::availableThreads(10);
DP_Semaphore ThreadPool::availableWork(0);

但是当我使用print命令在GDB中打印信号量时，我得到了类似的输出

(gdb) p this->availableWork
$7 = {
  sema = {
    semaphore_ = {
      sema_ = 0x6fe5a0,
      name_ = 0x0
    },
    removed_ = false
  }
}
(gdb) p this->availableThreads
$8 = {
  sema = {
    semaphore_ = {
      sema_ = 0x6fe570,
      name_ = 0x0
    },
    removed_ = false
  }
}

有一个工具可以帮助我这里，或者我应该切换到Posix线程和重写我所有的代码。

编辑:根据@timrau的要求，呼叫this->availableWork->dump()的输出

(gdb) p this->availableWork.dump()
[Switching to Thread 0x2aaaae97e940 (LWP 28609)]
The program stopped in another thread while making a function call from GDB.
Evaluation of the expression containing the function
(DP_Semaphore::dump()) will be abandoned.
When the function is done executing, GDB will silently stop.

sema.semaphore_.sema_在您的代码中看起来像一个指针。尝试在ACE标头中找到它的类型，然后将其转换为类型并打印:

(gdb) p *((sem_t)0x6fe570)

更新:尝试转换结构中的地址，你发布到sem_t。如果您使用linux, ACE应该使用posix信号量，因此类型sem_t必须对gdb可见。
