Debug bitcoin core on Ubuntu

[maplelake]

1. Build bitcoin core with steps by build-unix.md.
2. Debug it with gdb. I like to layout view of code/debug. So i use the following cmd
          cmd:  gdb -tui
3. for "n" , the ip often jumps unexpected back and forth

Is it caused by some optimization compile? it is a little annoying ...

any way to improve it ?

Do you need to debug it? I just compiled the binaries and ran it from there imo...

I'm guessing gdb is going to use an interface between itself and gcc and gcc is known for needing a lot of memory, how much do you have avaliable?

Hi,

any way to improve it ?

You should enable the compiler debugging flags with `--enable-debug`. You can list the configuration flags with `configure --help`.

Do you need to debug it?

yes, just reading code is not enough.you have to hand on by debugging
