Re: Need help in debug

[Kannan Varadhan <kannan@ISI.EDU>]

Srinivasa Rao,

Here are three suggestions:

	1.  Use gdb to do your C++ debugging

	2.  Get tcl-debug1.17 (check the installations web page for
		how/where to get it),
	and make sure that ns is built with tcl-debug.  You may have
	to reconfigure and recompile.

	The ns web page describes (shows through a gdb script),
	how you can interact with tcldebug through gdb.

	3.  The simulator method, gen-map, dumps a trace of the topology,
	that also helps in identifying the particular object you are
	looking at in gdb, and its relation to the complete topology.

	You can get this output when you are interacting with the tcl-debugger.

Hope this helps,


Kannan

PS:  If you have specific suggestions on how the debugging
web page can be improved, we'd like to hear them as well.
