i was just giving an example...the code is not as big as the linux source code...but yes may be its atleast as big as the firefox code...i am doing no hacking..

hmm

Meh, you obviously don't know the meaning of the word. *slaps the media for perverting our word*
What is this project, out of curiosity?

anandt4u

thats secret :eek:

By the way, the "real" meaning of "hacking" means basically coding/programming. The media has perverted it to mean illegally breaking in, but that is actually "cracking", not "hacking". Also, maybe you should learn C/C++ more thoroughly before attempting to sort through a large project. I recommend Kerninghan and Ritchie's book for C, and Bjarne Strousourp's book for C++.

Infinite Recursion

you could always put printf / cout statements in the code at the beginning of each function with an output of their values... shouldn't be that difficult to follow the login doing that.

Thats a better option..but in the long run... anyway i just found out about gdb..can it do the job for me??

uman

maybe, I've never used it. I would say it probably can though.

tempest

There are debuggers that do this kind of thing... now only if i knew their names...

heh, tempest, don't know any good Linux debuggers? I thought you coded *exclusively* on Linux...

tempest

I do, i just use GCC to debug my code. lol.

<apologises for arrogance coming from lack of ways to say this>

The reason that i don't know any is that memory flow isn't usually my problem. So i don't have much use for this type of technology...
