Hi Tom

I’ve noticed this issue pop up a few times on the list and noticed that
the wiki suggests starting the app
under control of GDB. This has in the past caused me a lot of
“Heisen-bugs” because GDB really messes
with the timing of some apps.
The true old-fashioned way was ‘core’ files (I learned Fortran on a
machine with 8K of 16-bit words of core ;-). I’ve put together
a writeup on using this alternative method of invoking GDB, which is at

http://op25.osmocom.org/wiki/wiki/DebugPage

If you feel like incorporating this verbiage into the main GR wiki, I’d
be happy to send you the raw markup…

Best Regards

Max

That’s great, Max, thanks! I’ll be stealing it for sure. Don’t worry
about the markup; it’s easy enough to do that kind of thing on the
Redmine Wiki.
