# Debugging veejay
Please report any issues here: https://github.com/c0ntrol/veejay/issues
Open a new bug report for each issue, so an effective bugfix workflow will be completed for each issue.
Other details you should heed
* Make sure your software is up to date. Ideally, test an in-development version (https://github.com/c0ntrol/veejay)
* Figure out the steps to reproduce a bug:
** If you have precise steps to reproduce — great! — you're on your way to reporting a useful bug report.
** If you can reproduce occasionally, but not after following specific steps, you must provide additional information for the bug to be useful.
## Redirecting veejay's console output
You can run veejay with the -v commandline flag, telling it to be more
verbosive:
<pre>
```
$ veejay -v -n > /tmp/logfile
</pre>
```
You can watch the console logging using tail:
<pre>
```
$ tail -f /tmp/logfile
</pre>
```
## Network event logging
You can log all network related events to /tmp/veejay.net.log (file
destination cannot be changed)
<pre>
```
$ export VEEJAY_LOG_NET_IO=on
$ veejay -v
</pre>
```
## Crash Recovery
If veejay crahes, it will write your samplelist and edit descision files to
$HOME/.veejay/recovery.
`$HOME/.veejay/recovery`.
The recovery files can be loaded with:
<pre>
```
$ veejay /path/to/recovery_editlist_p???.edl -l /path/to/recovery_samplelist_p???.sl
</pre>
```
## Useful backtraces
A useful backtrace not only contains symbols but also lists the linenumber and
name of the source file
To enable debugging symbols to be build in you must do a clean build and pass
the --enable-debug flag to configure.
<pre>
```
$ ./configure --enable-debug
$ (make clean)
$ make -j12 && make install
</pre>
```
You can attach a debugger to veejay, or you can load veejay in the debugger:
<pre>
$ ps -aef |grep veejay
$ gdb -p $PID
</pre>
```
$ sudo gdb -p `pidof veejay`
```
<pre>
```
$ gdb /path/to/veejay
...
$ bt
</pre>
```
To enable profiling you must do a clean build and pass
the --enable-profiling flag to configure.
Alternatively, you can use valgrind to look for memory leaks, threading
problems, etc:
<pre>
```
$ valgrind --leak-check=yes --leak-resolution=high --log-file=/tmp/valgrind.veejay.log /path/to/veejay -n -v ...
$ valgrind --tool=helgrind /path/to/veejay -n -v
</pre>
```
