[Xbae-discuss] Debugging.

[Tobias O. <tob...@ho...>]

Someone had problems using gdb to debug xbae. I just want to point out that 
by default xbae is compiled with optimization which makes debugging hard. I 
use
CFLAGS='-g -O0' ./configure
Another problem is that xbae sometimes grabs the mouse pointer. If a crash 
occures while the mouse is grabbed and the program traced, the mouse may not 
be ungrabbed and X becomes unusable. Then you have to kill gdb from 
somewhere else. (Like a virtual linux console). If you are seeing this 
(because you just added an assert or something like that) debug the core 
dump instead.
happy bug hunting.
Tobias.
