I was messing around with gdb and some test programs and I set a breakpoint on a call to strcpy, when I ran the program it stepped right over this breakpoint.
Initially I had assumed that glibc had been stripped but this was not the case. Further investigation lead me onto this discussion, where it was suggested to compile with the gcc option -fno-builtin.
This appeared to solve my issue and now when running this code in gdb it does step into the breakpoint set for strcpy.
Notes on various technologies and other cool stuff I am playing around with. My own technical stream of consciousness.
