Debugging a Fluent udf using gdb
1. build libudf using GUI 2. open with a text editor the file libudf/src/makefile 3. search for CFLAGS_LNAMD64 (or your appropriate platform) 4. change the option "-O" with "-O0 -g" and save the file 5. go to the libudf directory "cd libudf" 6. "make clean" 7. "make; cd ../" 8. load the new libudf in fluent and start running the udf 9. Identify the process id of fluent "ps -e | grep fluent.12.0.16" 10. start the debugger "gdb" 11. attach to the fluent process "attach 10304"; now fluent is interrupted 12. "backtrace" or "frame" to see where we are in the code 13. "break filename.c:line_nr" - put a break point in your udf source at a specified line 14. "continue" - now fluent gets alive again until it hits your breakpoint 15. onece the breakpoint is hit, use "print/step/next..." to follow your code step by step 16. if the bug is found or you got bored, then is time for a detach: "detach" 17. "quit"
