I'm currently trying to iron out some bugs in a module I'm working and have
spent a day trying to get a debug environment working properly for apache.
My ./configure for apache itself was the following:
OPTIM=-O0\
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache-dbg/ --enable-maintainer-mode --with-apr=/usr/local/
--with-apr-util=/usr/local/ --with-mpm=worker --enable-dbd --enable-so --enable-cgi
The apr/apr-util were also compiled with OPTIM=-O0 and maintainer-mode as
well as some stuff like AP-DBD mysql.
My problem is that whan I run apache through the debugger it still seems
blatantly like I'm running optimised code as code jumps back and forth and
certain variable are not visible at all.
I would appreciate if someone could advise me as to what the problem is and
how to resolve it.
************************************
Some information that may be relevant:
My module compiles in the following way when using apxs:
make
/usr/local//build-1/libtool --silent --mode=compile
gcc -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -pthread
-g -DLINUX=2 -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DAP_DEBUG -I/n/trunk/include/
-I/usr/local/apache-dbg//include -I. -I/usr/local//include/apr-1 -prefer-pic
-c mod_ninja_ads.c && touch mod_ninja_ads.slo
/usr/local//build-1/libtool --silent --mode=link
gcc -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -pthread
-g -o mod_ninja_ads.la -rpath
/usr/local/apache-dbg//modules -module -avoid-version mod_ninja_ads.lo
A sample of gdb output:
The fact that it keeps telling me my source files are newer than my
executable is certainly a cause of concern and I have no idea why this is
the case as checking the library it has a last modified moments before I run
it.
