Could you please upgrade the gdb version to the newest? #182

speedan0 · 2024-07-02T04:33:46Z

I tried to load the dump and vmlinux with crash 8.0.5 tools, and it reported the error as below. From the tests, I found that gdb 10.2 was the problem, whereas gdb 13.1 was able to load the vmlinux with no issues.
I tried to compile crash 8.0.5 with gdb 13.1; however, it compiled with some errors.
Could you please upgrade the gdb version to the newest?
Thanks.

crash 8.0.5 loads the dump and vmlinux with below errors.
