artist has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks
I have C++ programs which calls for C routine as well. I can use gdb with C++ and it works fine. C++ programs also works fine with make file etc.. and runs nicely. Now I have Perl Interface to this program via XS Mechanism and I found out that there is a bug in a C routine ( called via extern from C++). I like to debug (using gdb) it without rebuilding the XS every now and then. How I can achieve the same? My platform is linux. I use Emacs M-x gdb.I appreciate your help.

Thanks,

--Artist

    Ok, in that case make sure your XS is always compiled with symbols.

    WriteMakefile(
    ...
    OPTIMIZE => '-g',
)
