+=head1 Defining and Using Custom gdb Macros
cool. this partially answers one of my offline questions :)
that's why I've added it ;)
just one thing...
+ +GDB provides two ways to store sequences of commands for execution as +a unit: user-defined commands and command files. See: +http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb_21.html + +Apache 2.0 source comes with a nice pack of macros and can be found in +I<httpd-2.0/.gdbinit>. To use it issue: + + gdb> source /wherever/httpd-2.0/.gdbinit + +Now if for example you want to dump the contents of the bucket +brigade, you can do: + + gdb> dump_brigade my_brigade + +where C<my_brigade> is the pointer to the bucket brigade that you want +to debug.
where can you find a list of the name of the brigades? say I want to dump all the output filters - what are they called or, better, where do I look for them?
just like inside a perl debugger, you have to be inside a scope which has them. So if for example you want to dump output filters, you could break at:
modperl_wbucket_pass once you hit that bp, do:
gdb> dump_filters *(wb->filters)
of course there are many other places where you could do that (most inside apache core).
Let me know if this clarifies the issue.
