Does anybody out there know how to use gdb to debug an extern in Linux?
I have used this method:
https://puredata.info/docs/developer/DebuggingPdExternals
on Mac and it seems to work fine, but on my Fedora 20 system, when I run
(gdb) add-symbol-file /path/to/my_extern.pd_linux
I get the message
The address where /path/to/my_extern.pd_linux has been loaded is missing
and when I tab to complete on
(gdb) attach pd.
it hits me with 60000 completions -- apparently all the symbols in Pd.
In any case, it doesn't work and when my extern crashes, pd's watchdog
starts barking at me and I can't use the debugger.
I know Miller has suggested actually building the extern into Pd and
doing a standard debugging session, but there has got to be a better
way. Suggestions?
