How to add debug info?

Postby Makarov » 26 May 2010 12:18

I found segfault in vlc and can't fill correctly bug report. I can't view full trace in gdb, I can't understand how add debug info.

OS FreeBSD 7.3.

I compiled vlc (1.1-rc) with "--disable-optimizations--enable-debug" and add to CFLAGS (-O0 -g3).

Code: Select all

> gdb /usr/local/bin/vlc

Code: Select all

run -vvv udp://@239.195.0.2:1234 :sout='#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=650,fps=10,width=320,height=240,acodec=wma2,ab=32,channels=1,samplerate=22050}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,dst=:8001}'
After 10-15 seconds SEGFAULT. And you can see that gdb don't know debug symbols.

Code: Select all

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread 0x2a310260 (LWP 100231)] 0x289838fd in ff_dnxhd_init_mmx () from /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so.52 (gdb) bt #0 0x289838fd in ff_dnxhd_init_mmx () from /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so.52 #1 0x2a434000 in ??

This is dump of udp stream (http://88.85.76.18/stream.dump)

SEGFAULT can also be replicated with a dumpfile.

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv ./stream.dump :sout='#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=650,fps=10,width=320,height=240,acodec=wma2,ab=32,channels=1,samplerate=22050}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,dst=:8001}'

make install might be stripping the binaries. try running from your buildtree

vlc have size 93455. I see that vlc contain only symbols from vlc.c.

Should vlc have debug symbols from libvlc.so?

No. The debug symbols for libvlc(core) are in libvlc(core). Make sure you ran "make install" and not "make installstrip". Also, you seem to have a stripped libavcodec library...

As Xtophe said, it might be simpler to run and debug VLC from the build tree (gdb ./vlc).

I understand you Remi.

I made "gmake install", and configure and build with "--enable-debug --disable-optimizations".

And i run from local tree. On my freebsd compiled binary of vlc in local tree located in ./bin/.libs/vlc.
See my early post, where i wrote that size of vlc in local tree is 93455 (same size after install in ( /usr/local/bin/vlc).

Can someone download this file (http://88.85.76.18/stream.dump) and reproduce segfault?
This udp transcode is very important to me. This file is udp dump stream.

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv ./stream.dump :sout='#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=650,fps=10,width=320,height=240,acodec=wma2,ab=32,channels=1,samplerate=22050}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,dst=:8001}'

Works fine here. The crash seems to occur in FFmpeg anyway, so your version may be buggy.

I updated ffmpeg to latest svn (SVN-r23391) and again segfault.

I tryed:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i ./stream.dump -r 10 -acodec wmav2 -vcodec wmv2 -ar 22050 -ac 1 -ab 32k -vb 650k -s 320x240 test.asf
FFMpeg work ok without warnings and errors.

But:

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv ./stream.dump :sout='#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=650,fps=10,width=320,height=240,acodec=wma2,ab=32,channels=1,samplerate=22050}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,dst=:8001}'
Works with many errors and then segfault

Code: Select all
