Whats odd is totalview, STAT, and GDB see the correct values despite them being 
in the B section. What does padb do differently?

This is a dynamic, optimized build of 1.5.5rc1.

If I add a new symbol to orte/mca/debugger/base/debugger_base_open.c and 
declare it in orte/mca/debugger/base/base.h, the same as MPIR_proctable_size is 
defined then it appears in the .so but not in the binary, if I then reference 
this variable in orte/tools/orterun/orterun.c the symbol appears in orterun.  
It's definably coming from that declaration, what isn't so clear is how it's 
getting into the binary.  I can only assume that 
orte/mca/debugger/base/debugger_base_fns.c is linked into the binary directly 
and the symbol is optimised away in the case where it's defined but not used.

orte/tools/orterun/debuggers.c does not exist anymore (its not in the 1.5.5rc1 
tarball). I don't know why the symbols are showing up in section B of orterun. 
Investigating now.

There is a problem with 1.5.5rc1 that prevents padb from loading the process 
table start from the orterun process, what appears to be happening is that 
MPIR_proctable and MPIR_proctable_size is present in both orterun itself and 
also in libopen-rte.so, the code is correctly setting them in libopen-rte.so 
however when gdb is picking the variable from orterun in preference and hence 
padb is reading NULL values.

Indeed, there are two definitions, but a single declaration. This is true for 
both the trunk and the 1.5.

./orte/mca/debugger/base/base.h:61:ORTE_DECLSPEC extern struct MPIR_PROCDESC 
*MPIR_proctable;
./orte/mca/debugger/base/base.h:62:ORTE_DECLSPEC extern int MPIR_proctable_size;

./orte/mca/debugger/base/debugger_base_open.c:42:struct MPIR_PROCDESC 
*MPIR_proctable = NULL;
./orte/mca/debugger/base/debugger_base_open.c:43:int MPIR_proctable_size = 0;

./orte/tools/orterun/debuggers.c:142:struct MPIR_PROCDESC *MPIR_proctable = 
NULL;
./orte/tools/orterun/debuggers.c:143:int MPIR_proctable_size = 0;

george.


Attached is a log showing the problem, the only change I made to the source is 
to add a call to orte_debugger_base_dump() before the return from 
orte_debugger_base_init_after_spawn(), it looks like this could also have been 
achieved via a debug setting but I couldn't see how.
