   4 Please report bugs by subscribing to the OpenOCD mailing list and
   5 posting a message with your report:
   6
   7         openocd-development@lists.berlios.de
   8
   9 To minimize work for OpenOCD developers, you should try to include
  10 all of the information listed below.  If you feel that some of the
  11 items below are unnecessary for a clear bug report, you may leave
  12 them out; likewise, feel free to include additional information
  13 that may be important.
  14
  15 - Target PCB/board description
  16 - Configuration scripts
  17 - OpenOCD command line
  18 - List of commands issued or GDB operations performed
  19 - Expected result
  20 - Actual result
  21 - Logs using <code>debug_level 3</code> (or with '-d 3' on the command line)
  22 - If the report is for a regression:
  23   - Include logs for both working and broken versions.
  24   - Find the precise version that caused the regression by binary search.
  25     For example: if testing version 550 works but 600 fail, then try 575, etc.
  26
  27 If possible, please develop and attach a patch that helps to expose or
  28 solve the reported problem.  See the PATCHES file for more information
  29 for that process.

  31 Attach all files directly to your posting.  The mailing list knows to
  32 transform attachments to links, but attachments must be less than 300KB
  33 in total.

  35 @section bugscrashdump Obtaining Crash Backtraces
  36
  37 If OpenOCD is crashing, you can use GDB to get a trace:@par
  38 @code
  39 % gdb --args openocd ....
  40 (gdb) run
  41 (gdb) bt
  42 => here a stack trace is dumped.
  43 @endcode
  44
  45 @section bugsintreedebug Running and Debugging In-Tree
  46
  47 To run or debug the in-tree executable (not recommended), you must
  48 use libtool to set up the correct shared library paths:
  49 @code
  50   libtool gdb --args openocd ....
  51 @endcode
  52 or the more pedantic (and forward-compatible):
  53 @code
  54   libtool --mode=execute gdb --args openocd ....
  55 @endcode
