Running Komodo Software in Debug Mode

Introduction

To run Komodo software in debug mode, follow these steps.

sudo apt-get install gdb

Initiate your daemon using with gdb -args as a prefix.

For example, the below command would initiate the Komodod daemon with mining active and a designated pubkey.

gdb -args ./src/komodod -gen -genproclimit=2 -pubkey="03af2412ebf9517a43d192193490476fd0a44312c70755e07eb03b6d71338ebc9d"

The shell should return the following prompt.

gdb>

Execute run in the shell to start Komodo in debug mode.

gdb> run

Whenever komodod crashes, you will again see gdb> as a prompt.

To recall the last stages of komodod before the crash, execute the following command.

gdb> backtrace
