Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Debug GNU Radio and executing flowgraphs attaching to them

[Nikos Balkanas]

Hi,

You can attach gdb to whatever process you choose.  Indeed gdb is the standard in debugging as much as gcc is for compiling, but is for power users. If you need a graphical front-end for gdb, several come in mind, like ddd, Insight or Nemiver. If you are familiar with Eclipse CDT, it runs in Windows, Linux, Mac OS, etc...

Hello.

I am fairly new to gnu radio and to linux operating systems in general. Although, i have lot of experience working on software projects on windows, using visual studio on c#.

In windows it is super easy to debug an application, you just run it and whenever you like you just 'attach' to it.. This is true both for asp.net applications and desktop applications as well.

Is there any way to do this with gnuradio and with the blocks that are executing the flowgraph if both codes are compiled in debug? Which program should i use?

Also... is there nothing better to debug than the gdb debugger via the terminal? It feels like im in the 70s..

I would always hear that linux is so much better for advanced and experienced users in the field of computer sciences and software development, while windows is better for end users, casual users.

However, i am having trouble to find an IDE that even comes close to what visual studio has to offer.. and the practicality it has in windows to debug applicatons.

So i ask here, because im probably too ignorant and there is an equivalente tool in linux that does this job.

Thanks in advantage.
