How to fix Glib warnings or errors with GDB by Olivier on 18/02/2017 18:37

After adding support for Bluez5 in the latest version of gattlib, the Glib warning message GLib-WARNING **: Invalid file descriptor was printed every time we were closing a gattlib connection.
Even if the error warning was looking harmless, a warning message should never occurs after a normal operation.

Here are the following steps to fix a Glib warning or error:

  1. Ensure debug support is present in the gattlib based applications:

    cd <gattlib_root>
    mkdir build && cd build
    cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
    make
    
  2. Tell Glib library to treat warnings as error:

    export G_DEBUG=fatal_warnings
    
  3. Debug one of the gattlib examples using gdb:

    gdb ./examples/read_write/read_write
    
  4. Start the program and pass its arguments:

    (gdb) run  DA:94:40:95:E0:87 read 0x2a38
    Starting program: /home/olivier/gattlib/build/examples/read_write/read_write DA:94:40:95:E0:87 read 0x2a38
    [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
    Using host libthread_db library "/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".

  5. Inspect the callstack:

    (gdb) where
