ffmpeg ecplise debugging

Question

I am using ffmpeg with my application ( Ubuntu ), to be able to better understand the way things work I want to be able to debug through it, for that, while compiling I am using the following './configure' options:

• --disable-stripping
• --enable-debug=3
• --extra-cflags="-gstabs+"

Having that set, I am able to step through 'ffmpeg' with the debugger ( gdb ), however, I am not able to evaluate any of the variables, only the code position is resolvable...

What am I doing wrong? why can't I evaluate the variables?

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

The only thing missing was the --disable-optimizations configure switch
