Where Have My Source Files Gone?

• The issue: gdb stores the full path to each source file, in the program's debug information.
• The problem: when debugging on a different machine then where you compiled, gdb might not find the source code.
• The solution: telling gdb where the source files are.
• Use 'directory <directory>' to add directors in which gdb searches for source files.
• Use 'show directories' to see the list of directories in which gdb searches for source files.
• Use 'directory' with no parameters to reset this list.
