Controlling Separate Debug Files

The following command line options and CLI variables control how TotalView handles separate debug files.

• Controls whether TotalView looks for either a build ID or a .gnu_debuglink section in image files:

— Command line options -gnu_debuglink and -no_gnu_debuglink

— State variable TV::gnu_debuglink

This option basically turns on or off the functionality to support separate debug files.

• Sets the search path to use when looking for debug files referenced by a .gnu_debuglink section:

• Sets the search path to use when looking for debug files referenced by a .note.gnu.build-id section:

• Specifies the global debug directory:

• Validates the separate .gnu_debuglink debug file’s checksum:

— Command line option -gnu_debuglink_checksum
