Using a Debugger¶
A debugger can set breakpoints in a plugin. Use a Traffic Server debug build and compile the plugin with the -g option. A debugger can also be used to analyze a core dump. To generate core, set the size limit of the core files in the records.config file to -1 as follows:
CONFIG proxy.config.core_limit INT -1
This is the equivalent of setting ulimit -c unlimited
Debugging Tips:¶
- Use a Traffic Server debug version.
- Use assertions in your plugin (TSAssert/TSReleaseAssert).
