inspecting hotspot code using gdb

[Ben Cheng]

Hello,

I tried to set a breakpoint in a Hotspot function, say
"ciEnv::register_method", under gdb, but gdb couldn't seem to find the
symbols. I am using my locally built libjvm.so so symbols should be there,
so I am thinking that feeding the java launcher to gdb is the wrong thing to
do here.

Can someone explain the procedures to debug hotspot under gdb?

Thanks,
-Ben
