Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000555555555236 in print (p=0x0) at debug_demo.cpp:9
warning: Source file is more recent than executable.

(gdb) ai 
Based on the provided GDB debug information, the error seems to occur in the "print" function at line 9 of the "debug_demo.cpp" file. The error is caused by accessing a null pointer (p=0x0).

The root cause of this error is that the "print" function is receiving a null pointer (p) as an argument. Trying to access the memory location pointed to by a null pointer will result in a segmentation fault or other similar error.

To resolve this issue, you should ensure that the pointer being passed to the "print" function is not null before attempting to access its value. You can add a null check at the beginning of the function to handle such cases gracefully:

void print(int* p) {
    if (p == nullptr) {
        // Handle the case when p is null
        std::cout << "Error: Null pointer passed to print function\n";
        return;
    }

    // Rest of your code to print the value pointed by p
    // ...
}

By adding this null check, you can avoid the segmentation fault and handle the null pointer case in a more controlled manner.
(gdb) ai 用中文回答无效指针是哪个,是谁调用这个函数的
根据给出的GDB调试信息，我们可以看到位于print函数中的NULL指针。

当前函数是print函数，它在debug_demo.cpp文件的第9行被调用。
调用print函数的是main函数，它位于debug_demo.cpp文件的第15行。

希望这能帮到你！

(gdb) explain x/8i $pc
The GDB command "x/8i $pc" is used to display the next 8 instructions of the program being debugged starting from the current value of the program counter ($pc).

The "x" command is used in GDB to examine memory. In this case, we are using it to examine the instructions in memory. The "8i" argument specifies that we want to examine 8 instructions, and the "$pc" specifies that we want to start examining from the current value of the program counter.

The program counter ($pc) keeps track of the memory address of the next instruction to be executed by the processor. By using the "x/8i" command with the $pc register, we can see the assembly instructions that are about to be executed.

The output of this command will show the memory addresses and corresponding assembly instructions for the next 8 instructions in the program. This can be useful for understanding program flow and debugging issues at the instruction level.
(gdb) chat what's gdb
GDB (GNU Debugger) is a powerful and widely used debugger for various programming languages, including C, C++, and assembly. It allows developers to trace and debug their programs by providing features such as breakpoints, stepping through code, examining variables and memory, and controlling program execution. GDB is a command-line tool that is commonly used in development environments for finding and fixing software bugs and errors.
