Hello,
I'm a very, very novice C programmer and I have written an extension
for php that does its purpose well, or at least it used to until they
asked for that one extra feature. It's a very little thing, very easy,
but damn it all, it has a mysterious bug. I tracked it down to one
specific line where the weirdness occurs, but I can't figure out *why*
it is occuring.
This extension uses the php_streams and as such, is wed enough to php
that my first inclination (compile it on its own and debug it that way)
is a no-go. Is there any way to use a debugger on this so I can step
through it?
I only know enough C for it to be painful. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben 4 2212

What platform are you on? If you're using Visual Studio on Windows,
what you do is attach the debugger to the Apache process then set the
break points. Upon hitting the page the debugger will stop the process
at the break point for you to trace through.
I'm on freeBSD without X11, editing the file on OS X through a samba
mount.
I'll google around for attaching a debugger to an Apache process.
Thanks for the direction.
The thing to remember is that you need to attach to a child process
spawned by the Apache as opposed to the original process. Be sure to
adjust your Apache config so it wouldn't spawn some fifty children.
Otherwise it'd be pretty hard to tell which one is handling a given
request.
It's been ages since I last used gdb. Just look in the manpage. Should
tell you what commands to use.
Thanks a lot. With some help I managed to solve my problem (very
stupid, naturally) before it got to the interactive debugger phrase,
but I'm sure next time I manage to get myself stuck or even next time I
find myself idly investigating I'll give gdb a shot.
Thanks for the tips. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi,
Could someone please explain what sign-extension means? If I have a hex
number 0x55, how does this get sign-extended? Can a sign-extended
counterpart be equal to -91? In a program I'm expecting 0x55 in return
from a function whereas I am getting -91 every time.. does this mean
anything? Thanks
