[xine-devel] xine and gdb

[Guenter B. <bar...@st...>]

Hi folks,

since xine is heavily multi-threaded and threads are in fact processes on
linux it was quite difficult for gdb to handle.

Now, the good news is that the gdb developers have made impressive
progress on that matter. I just compiled and installed

guenter@darkwing:~/xine-lib$ gdb --version
GNU gdb 20010720 (MI_OUT)

and now I can run & fully debug xine in gdb! This is really great!! :-)

At the moment I have very little time to spend on xine, but in august I'll
certainly spend with this great tool.

Cheers,

   Guenter
