I am trying to debug gtk-gnash to become more familiar with the code and
gain experience with gdb debugging.
I was trying to set breakpoints in IOChannel.cpp
I first did a
symbol-file /usr/local/lib/gnash/libgnashbase-trunk.so
then I set breakpoint in IOChannel.cpp
Loading the symbol table isn't going to do it. To test an installed
gnash, run GDB on the gtk-gnash (or kde4-gnash, etc...) executable. Use
the GDB command "set args" to specify the command line for Gnash,
including the name of the swf file you are running. Then it'll work. I
use ".gdbinit" files to set the default commands for Gnash when
debugging, including doing a "tb main" followed by "run", which loads
the symbol table making setting breakpoints easier. Otherwise just
answer "y" when GDB prompts you about setting a breakpoint in a
dynamically loaded library.
