调试ffmpeg_g, ffplay_g

ffmpeg 配置, 使其支持调试

关于-g3相关知识gcc-g-vs-g3-gdb-flag-what-is-the-difference

./configure  --disable-optimizations --disable-stripping --enable-debug=3 --disable-doc
make -j `nproc`

以_g结尾的就是可以调试的程序ffmpeg_g, ffplay_g, ffprobe_g

vscode配置

如下命令：

# macOS上列出所有的音视频设备
ffmpeg -f avfoundation -list_devices true -i ""

launch.json 对应的配置

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "(lldb) Launch",
            "type": "cppdbg",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/ffmpeg_g",
            "args": ["-f", "avfoundation", "-list_devices", "true", "-i", "\"\""],
            "stopAtEntry": false,
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "environment": [],
            "externalConsole": false,
            "MIMode": "lldb"
        }
    ]
}

打上断点，点击运行，就可以愉快的调试了

调试ffmpeg/doc/example

make examples

在ffmpeg/doc/example目录下, 以_g结尾的就是可以调试的

配置launch.json

开始调试吧

修改代码重新编译

例如你在调试的时候，修改了ffmpeg的源码，想调试一下更改后的代码，需要重新编译生成。

cd ffmpeg
make -j 16
make examples

你想自动化这个过程，在调试之前自动编译，如何实现呢？

配置 `prelaunchTask`

在tasks.json中添加一个task

{
    // See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
    // for the documentation about the tasks.json format
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "make",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "make -j 16; make examples",
            "problemMatcher": [],
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            },
            "options": {
                "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
            }
        }
    ]
}

在launch.json中配置prelaunchTask

然后修改代码，点击调试， vscode 自动执行make，编译修改后的文件，重新生成可执行程序。不用每次修改完想看看效果，还要手动去执行make，效率又提高了

备注：m1 芯片的mac 如果遇到调试问题

ERROR: Unable to start debugging. Unexpected LLDB output from command "-exec-run". process exited with status -1 (attach failed ((os/kern) invalid argument))

解决办法：

使用 CodeLLDB debugger插件，而不是vc code 原生的调试插件

I would suggest you to use CodeLLDB debugger (vadimcn.vscode-lldb). It's an extension in VSCode and works exactly like the native debugger in VSCode. For its setup, you just need to change the configuration of your launch.json file with the one provided by the extension. And that should do the trick.

Now if you would try to debug then, VSCode will make use of that extension and should be able to debug your programs as it was to be done by the native debugger.

I am personally using it on my M1 chip MacBook Air, and it works perfectly fine. According to me, It's much easier to implement than other workarounds present at the moment.

macOS平台使用vscode调试ffmpeg
