Re: [Numpy-discussion] SWIG / Numeric core dump

[Joe V. A. <van...@at...>]

The best way of finding core dumps with a Python extension is to compile
the extension source with '-g', and then follow these steps.
(You may also have to compile the Numeric Extensions with '-g', to trace
into them).

% gdb /usr/bin/python2.1
(gdb) br _PyImport_LoadDynamicModule 
(gdb) cont   # repeat until your extension is loaded


(gdb) finish # to load your extension
(gdb) br wrap_myfunction
(gdb) disable 1   # don't want to break for more modules being loaded
(gdb) continue


Note: you can't set a breakpoint in your code until your module has been
loaded.
