Development/Tutorials/Debugging

In order to understand an application or find bugs it is useful to trace the code paths and get backtraces. There are several ways to do it:

• insert kDebug statements to trace the course of the program
• use gdb (tutorial)
• you use KDbg from our tools
• you use add_trace

This program lets you modify your sourcecode so that an information is printed everytime the program enters a function. This is good if you do not know in which function your problem occurs.
