This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
I originally posted this to the 'cnd' forum but this didn't generate any discussion/response so I'm entering this here as a 'cnd' bug. Please see: http://forums.netbeans.org/viewtopic.php?t=64680&highlight= for the forum thread. It appears as if a project's specified GDB init file is not being used when debugging a core file in NetBeans (8.0.2)? I have specifically set 'solib-search-path' in this file in order to have GDB properly identify and load symbols when debugging. This works fine when debugging interactively (i.e., starting the - or connecting to a remote - debugger) but the file is not leveraged when debugging core files (the shared libs are not loaded in this latter case). BTW, the debugger log also confirms this (where the gdb init file is shown being used when debugging interactively but not when debugging a core file). Either change this to have the "debug core file" function use the active project's "Gdb Init File" value or have a new field in the "Debug Core File" dialog that allows the user to enter the path/value for the gdb init file to use.
Please attach gdb log file as from what I see in my gdb log GDB init file which is specified for the project is loaded when debugging core file^ his log is saved to: /tmp/gdb-cmds7438432974252833321.log NB build: 20160816-f1a9faf455c2 =thread-group-added,id="i1" ~"GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.7.1-0ubuntu5~14.04.2) 7.7.1\n" ~"Copyright (C) 2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc.\n" ~"License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html>\nThis is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.\nThere is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.

I also see that this seems to be working in NB 8.1 (on Linux).

This can be marked as resolved (in NB 8.1).
