Debugging issue with gdbserver and a daemon on the target


Hi,

I am having a bit of difficult time to get a breakpoint hit on my
daemon. My setup is as follows:

== Target ==

gdbserver --attach 192.168.0.32:2345 pid-of-my-daemon

== Host ==

./tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/armv5te-foo-linux-gnueabi/cgdb -d

... And then I do some communication with the daemon where the foo
function is executed based on the logs, but the breakpoint is not hit.
I wished to try hardware breakpoints, but they are not presented on my
hardware.

Furthermore, if I use the same workflow on a binary that is
"one-shot", i.e. not running continuously as a daemon, the debugging
workflow for stopping at main works with exactly the aforementioned
software breakpoint issue.

I am completely clueless at this point. Do you know how I can debug a
daemon with gdbserver?

Cheers, L.
