[CinCV] Running with GDB - gathering crash back-traces

[Sean M. Pappalardo]

Hello, everyone.




1) Install the "gdb" package on your system

3) When the (gdb) prompt comes up, just type  run  and hit Enter.
4) Use Cinelerra as needed to trigger the crash.


Thanks for your time and attention.

Sincerely,
Sean M. Pappalardo

Here's a quick HOWTO for running Cinelerra under the GNU Debugger (gdb) and getting a back-trace of a crash to help the developers isolate and fix the problem: 2) When you're ready to try to reproduce the crash, open a terminal and enter gdb /path/to/cinelerra 5) When it crashes, you will get a (gdb) prompt in the terminal again. Type thread apply all bt and press Enter. 6) Keep pressing Enter to view all of the pages until you get a (gdb) prompt back again. (You may have to do it quite a few times depending on how many threads were running.) 7) Copy all of the output from when you started (with the 'run' command) to the final (gdb) prompt into a text file. 8) Attach this file to a bug report or message to this mailing list as appropriate.
