(04/25/10) — Office hours during finals week will be by appointment.
(04/08/10) — Good news, I've found a way to allow you to use gdb to debug the filesystem program. This is nontrivial because the cs1550 executable that you run is not a real program but a shell script that launches other programs. One solution that works instead is that we can attach gdb to a running program if we have it's process id.
In a new window, execute the command:
pgrep cs1550
This should give you a single process id number. Take this number and pass it to gdb:
gdb --pid=NUMBER
gdb will now execute and attach itself to your program. The cs1550 program will be paused. Add any breakpoints you want to the functions you wish to test. You'll then need to type:
continue
to allow the cs1550 program to resume before you can interact with it.
