@ -229,6 +229,17 @@ Debugging a test case
The following options to the ``check`` script can be useful when debugging
a failing test:
* ``-gdb`` wraps every QEMU invocation in a ``gdbserver``, which waits for a
connection from a gdb client. The options given to ``gdbserver`` (e.g. the
address on which to listen for connections) are taken from the ``$GDB_OPTIONS``
environment variable. By default (if ``$GDB_OPTIONS`` is empty), it listens on
``localhost:12345``.
It is possible to connect to it for example with
``gdb -iex "target remote $addr"``, where ``$addr`` is the address
``gdbserver`` listens on.
If the ``-gdb`` option is not used, ``$GDB_OPTIONS`` is ignored,
regardless of whether it is set or not.
* ``-d`` (debug) just increases the logging verbosity, showing
for example the QMP commands and answers.
