Subject: GDB Trace functions calls when executing a program
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2018 15:19:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACX5wchUEWN3fB6WKSrd7bSjuPLO6Mfw=20s-yqFNUQZ-v4ojQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Please let me know if in GDB there is a way to print function names when
program is executing - this is to just track / trace the code flow.
Generally in projects which has thousands of lines of code - it is very
difficult to trace a flow. The first is to decide where to put a breakpoint
for analysis. But to know the place to put breakpoint we need to know where
to enable it - I mean it should be within a function of a flow.
So can we just enable some command and let the program when running using
gdb - gdb can simply print functions name as it executes them.
Is the same possible?
Regards,
Prakash
