Re: [Perfparse-users] PerfParse not collecting any data.... whats wrong?

[Ben C. <Ben...@ro...>]

Arner,

By the look of the response, it seems that the program 'perfparse' is 
crashing somewhere after loading the configuration file and before 
parsing the data.  Unfortunately there is a lot of code here.

Can you first check that the version of your MySQL client library is the 
same as your MySQL server?  This can cause this problem.

If not, then some heavier debugging will be needed.

You can use tools like gdb if you feel confident.

There is another debug, but it is manual. :)  As we are all keen to find 
your problem, I ask whether you might have time to have a go?

In the file perfparse/perfparse.c you can add the macro 'DB;' which 
reports the current line.  If this is used, it will show the line of the 
code when running.  Using this, and a little trial/error, it's possible 
to find the line it stops at.

Eg, in the main() use:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	char*config_file_name=NULL;
	tStart = time(NULL);
	sProgName = argv[0];
	config_file_name = parse_arg_basic(argc, argv);

	DL;

	/* Get default settings */
	conf = conf_load(config_file_name);

	DL;

	/* Parse passed parameters: */
	parse_arg(argc, argv);

	DL;

	/* Check the parameters */
	check_params(argc,argv,conf);

	DL;

	/* Connect to MySQL: */
	now_connect(TRUE);

	DL;

This will print to the shell:

00160:HERE
00165:HERE
00170:HERE
00175:HERE
00180:HERE

Using this method, it's possible to find out exactly where and when you 
program stops.

If you can give us any feedback here, this would be very much appreciated.

Regards,

Ben
