Title: How to make a backtrace without a headache?
Post by: macias on August 09, 2006, 09:46:08 AM

Hello,

  I compiled amule in debug mode however I have problems running it in such a mode. Maybe I didn't understand wiki page about backtrace correctly:
a) via gdb -- annoying, since I can't (don't know how to) run amule automatically, each time I have to type "run" in gdb; also when the program crashes I am still in gdb and I can't (don't know how to) set the audible indicator about crash

b) unlimited core dump -- I have 2GB RAM and I am afraid that on crash, the core file could be 2GB in size -- it is problem for me because I don't have 2GB free space on my disk

  So how could I easily run amule in debug mode, fully automatically, and not worrying about space left on disk?

Thanks for any help, bye

(a) That's the way gdb works, you have to live with it

(b) You don't need to create core files at all

Just use this script to start aMule:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
gdb amule << EOF
run
bt
bt full
thread apply all bt
EOF

I found out (trivial after all) that I could add "quit" and after the whole script I could run mplayer for example. So I can get both -- run gdb and have audible indicator of the crash.

Thanks again, bye
