Regading debugging the SPICE code


Hai everybody,

My name is anil ale. I am new to this group. I hope someone can help me.

I have source code for the spice . I installed spice in Redhat linux. Now its running good. My problem is how the spice is converting the netlist to data structure and calculating the output and plotting the graph.

I want to know how it is choosing the alogritham.

I want to debugg the code when i run the netlist in the spice.

Is there anyway to see the path, how the spice is giving output.

I tried using the gdb. but it is giving error. The error is as follows

[anil@lnx anil]$ gdb ngspice test.net
GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (6.3.0.0-1.62rh)

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr1/home/anil/ngspice/bin/ngspice

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0806731a in baseaddr () at resource.c:463
463 x = *at;
(gdb)


this type of error is coming

Hope some one can help me

Thanks in advance

regards,
anil

The gdb invocation is wrong. I believe you want to do this:

gdb ngspice
...
run test.net

the "run" command can be used to provide the command line arguments to the program being run.

You can also use "--args":

gdb --args ngspice test.net

and that will do it all on the command line, but you probably want to set breakpoints, etc. before running.

Good luck,
Jeff
PS: all this I got from "info gdb".
