Unable to Debug on Apple M1/M2 when using linux/amd64 devcontainer

[jimklo]

Environment

• OS and version:
  MacOS Ventura, 13.3 (22E252)

• VS Code:
  Version: 1.77.1 (Universal)
  Commit: b7886d7461186a5eac768481578c1d7ca80e2d21
  Date: 2023-04-04T23:23:33.779Z
  Electron: 19.1.11
  Chromium: 102.0.5005.196
  Node.js: 16.14.2
  V8: 10.2.154.26-electron.0
  OS: Darwin arm64 22.4.0
  Sandboxed: No

• C/C++ extension: C++ v1.14.5

• OS and version of remote machine (if applicable):
  Using devcontainer: mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/cpp:0-ubuntu-22.04
  Build and running as platform linux/amd64

• GDB / LLDB version:
  GNU gdb (Ubuntu 12.1-0ubuntu1~22.04) 12.1
  lldb version 14.0.0

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Attaching sample workspace:
sample-cpp.zip

Steps:

1. Build the devcontainer and install the plugins. (Note due to another issue, plugin verification must be disabled, see Dev Containers won't install VSCode extensions for linux/amd64 containers on Apple M1 vscode-remote-release#8169)
2. Open the test_app.cpp and press the debug/play button
3. Error is displayed and debug session is not started.

### Other Extensions

_No response_

### Additional Information

My guess is this has to do with permissions with Rosetta 2, but unsure. I would think it should debug like a remote debugger.  Not sure how to proceed.  Also this works fine if run using linux/arm64 as the container platform.

[WardenGnaw]

The error is comming from GDB.

ERROR: Unable to start debugging. Unexpected GDB output from command "-exec-run". Couldn't get registers: Input/output error.

This may be an issue with devcontainers or how GDB works within them. You can file a bug on GDB at https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/

[mogongzi]

When I tried to run gdb inside of the container (which is built on x86_64), I got the same error Couldn't write debug register: Input/output error.

[KOConchobhair]

Not a GDB bug...but GDB does get a little confused in this case since rosetta is involved.

I was able to get it working inside a container by following this excellent blog post:
https://sporks.space/2023/04/12/debugging-an-x86-application-in-rosetta-for-linux/

ROSETTA_DEBUGSERVER_PORT=1234 node app.js &
gdb
(gdb) set architecture i386:x86-64
(gdb) file /usr/bin/node
(gdb) target remote localhost:1234
(gdb) continue

I am sure there's a way to convert the above to a VSCode launch configuration (exercise left to the reader). I am using macOS M2, Ventura 13.4, stock ubuntu:20.04 container --platform=linux/amd64 via colima v0.5.5 w/ Virtualization.Framework & rosetta enabled. Hope this helps!

Nice workaround. But I'm still struggling debbugging my cpp. I replaced your command with my-binary instead of /usr/bin/node. Apparently GDB loads all the symbols correctly but then I receive a segmentation fault when running continue.
Still not sure where the problem is, since running my executable without gdb I don't have seg faults.

Same configuration: M2, macOS 13.4, colima 0.5.5

[KOConchobhair]

A segfault under gdb doesn't sound like OP's issue. We were simply seeing the error Couldn't write debug register: Input/output error. from gdb and the workaround above gets past that error.

If it's crashing for you it could be a different issue. I'd say make sure you are starting Colima with colima start --arch aarch64 --vm-type=vz --vz-rosetta (otherwise it uses qemu by default).

[jacogasp]

Hi @KOConchobhair,

yes, I'm investigating and apparently the segfault comes from some multithreaded libraries messing around in our code. Still don't now if this issue comes for rosetta emulation or not, but definitely not a gdb issue.
Actually your workaround works: I'm able to perform gdb commands such as printing frames and break the code where I want.

Thank you very much!

I tried this in Visual Studio Code, but I couldn't find a suitable way to convert these instructions to Microsoft's C++ extension. After some effort, I discovered an extension that could address this issue.

1. Start by installing the "Native Debug" extension.
   
2. Next, add a configuration in your launch.json file:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "gdb",
            "request": "attach",
            "name": "Attach to gdbserver",
            "executable": "./your/executable/path",   //relative to your workspace
            "target": "localhost:1234", 
            "remote": true,
            "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "valuesFormatting": "parseText"
        }
    ]
}

3. Now, execute your program in the terminal:

ROSETTA_DEBUGSERVER_PORT=1234 ./your/executable/path

4. Finally, attach to the program through Visual Studio Code:

Now, you're all set to debug your program.

Not a GDB bug...but GDB does get a little confused in this case since rosetta is involved.
I was able to get it working inside a container by following this excellent blog post: https://sporks.space/2023/04/12/debugging-an-x86-application-in-rosetta-for-linux/

ROSETTA_DEBUGSERVER_PORT=1234 node app.js &
gdb
(gdb) set architecture i386:x86-64
(gdb) file /usr/bin/node
(gdb) target remote localhost:1234
(gdb) continue

I am sure there's a way to convert the above to a VSCode launch configuration (exercise left to the reader). I am using macOS M2, Ventura 13.4, stock ubuntu:20.04 container --platform=linux/amd64 via colima v0.5.5 w/ Virtualization.Framework & rosetta enabled. Hope this helps!

Nice workaround. But I'm still struggling debbugging my cpp. I replaced your command with my-binary instead of /usr/bin/node. Apparently GDB loads all the symbols correctly but then I receive a segmentation fault when running continue. Still not sure where the problem is, since running my executable without gdb I don't have seg faults.
Same configuration: M2, macOS 13.4, colima 0.5.5

idk what is wrong with my setup, this does not work for me, I am running a centos(x86) docker image with docker desktop on M3 pro, it still gives me

Couldn't get registers: Input/output error. Couldn't get registers: Input/output error.

Can u pls help?

I have the same issue, although trying to debug an application running on a linux/amd64 debian bookworm container through the dev containers extension. Also i'm not sure what the expected behaviour of prepending a binary with the ROSETTA_DEBUGSERVER_PORT environment variable is supposed to do within a container? does it run an instance of gdbserver? whenever i try to attach gdb to the server within the container it throws a timeout.

Same here, I'm just timing out. I don't know how others are able to link the application to gdb. I'm running on RHEL 8
