#430 GDB’s new experimental feature - source tracking breakpoints

Article Summary:
Learn about new GDB’s experimental feature - source tracking breakpoints.

Article Description:
Learn about a new GDB feature I’m working on - source tracking breakpoints follow your code changes. When the source code is adjusted (line number of the line the breakpoint was set to shifts), GDB would automatically reset breakpoints to follow the code changes. This feature may be especially useful when you’re using scripts for setting multiple breakpoints and then adjusting code on the run while debugging. I’ll show you how to enable this feature and teach you how to use it to make the most of it.

This feature is experimental, it’s been submitted upstream and currently being reviewed,
I’m still working on it and would love to get feedback from the users.

No deep GDB knowledge is required.

Hi,

I progressed with writing, but now, I'm confused to where to put the actual article?
My idea should be approved here https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/57/l/latest?board=default ?

Thank you

Hi Alexandra:

We are in the middle of transitioning the Fedora Magazine kanban from Pagure to Discourse. For now, it is OK to use either place to contact the editors.

... where to put the actual article?

Can you sign in to our WP Engine instance here and upload your content?

Thanks!

Yes, that's the right way to do it. Thanks.

I posted it more then a week ago and nothing happens, is this an expected time for an article to be in a waiting for review state? or did I do something wrong when posting it?

@ahajkova Please accept my apologies for misunderstanding the state of your article. I hadn't realized that you were done writing it and waiting for a review. I'm sure we can expedite its publication now that we are aware of the situation.

@rlengland will you be reviewing and publishing this or would you prefer that I do it?

@glb I will review and publish.
@ahajkova My apologies as well. I will publish it today.

@ahajkova The article is published.

Thank you for contributing to the Fedora Magazine.

Thank you for publishing!
