Debugging

This page provides tips on debugging various portions of the bladeRF code base. If you suspect you've encountered a bug that hasn't been reported yet, it is generally very helpful to include results of some preliminary debugging to an issue tracker item, forum post, or question on IRC.

Configuring a Debug Build

In most cases, one will want to ensure debug symbols are enabled while debugging. This can be enabled by setting the CMake CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable to Debug:

$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../

GCC/GDB users will likely want to include as much debug information as possible. Use ENABLE_GDB_EXTENSIONS to compile with -ggdb3:

$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DENABLE_GDB_EXTENSIONS=Yes ../
