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: <ul> <li>--disable-stripping</li> <li>--enable-debug=3</li> <li>--extra-cflags="-gstabs+"</li> </ul> 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.

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

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?
