In debugging a network kernel extension, can I use gdb, or do I have to use
ddb? I'm manually loading and unloading the kext. It seems like I should
be able to use gdb.
Is it required that I debug remotely, or can I debug on the same machine the
extension is running on? --Is that a dumb question? (-:
I haven't tried debugging in the kernel before. I found a document called
"KernelProgramming.pdf" that provided a lot of instructions, which I've
looked at, but it wasn't totally clear on these points. It only talks about
remote debugging, but doesn't explicitly say that local debugging is out.
If a breakpoint brings the whole kernel to a stop, then it makes sense that
debugging would have to be done remotely only.
Thanks in advance for comments,
Eric Long
