New to KiCAD dev, how can I check symbols in GDB, and check wxLog?

[Y. HB (sprhawk)]

Hello there.

I'm building KiCAD 7.0.1 tag under Debian Linux using following command:

cmake -G Ninja -DKICAD_USE_EGL=ON  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../../

running with command:

KICAD_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIR=1 gdb pcbnew/pcbnew

Questions:

1. I want to break in one PCB tool, eg, length_tuner_tool, but in gdb, i cannot find the symbol with prefix LENGTH_TUNER_TOOL

2. If I want to use wxLogDebug to show logs ( or how to enable DEBUG logging in wx ?)

Thanks for help

For Q2, I found I didn't register my tool in pcb_edit_frame.cpp. now it is showing logs.

Finally, for Q1, I found this old post:

So I just use run command in gdb to run application, then Ctrl-C break
in gdb, then I can find my symbols

Looks like you found your answers already but just to check, did you get them both answered?
