title: GDB - How to handle "No Symbol Table"
body: <p>I have an application I would like to inspect and I don't have the sources to rebuild it and create the Symbol Table like <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9245685/gdb-no-symbol-table-is-loaded">here</a> (<code>gcc -g my_app.c</code>).</p>
  
  <p>When I call the <code>info locals</code> I get the following error "<strong>No symbol table info available</strong>"</p>
  
  <p>When I'm working with Eclipse even when I don't have the sources of the library it can resolve the arguments of the current function into <em>arg0, arg1... argN</em> and if I remember correctly also the members of objects.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to generate a custom/generic/default symbol table, one that would satisfy GDB and would allow me to see the values of local variables and arguments?</p>
