Dear Coreutils community,
I have a hard debugging the mv binary using GDB.
I modify the Makefile at the root with the following flag hopping it help:
CFLAGS = -g -ggdb -Og -O0
But many of the variables have been optimized out and it's a bit hard to
step into the code.
I think it's probably because I'm stepping in gnulib witch is maybe not
using the same CFLAGS.
Is there anything I should do to make my life easier?
CFLAGS can be overridden, so you could do something like:
$ cd coreutils
$ make clean
$ make CFLAGS='-g -ggdb -Og -O0' -j4
$ gdb --directory=lib -tui -args src/mv
cheers,
