== Debugging Components Using Quicktime Player and GDB ==
To get a debugger attached and put breakpoints into functions in your component files:
* launch qt player
* find its pid using ps
* launch gdb
* attach to the pid (attach pid). This will cause qt player to freeze
* use future-break to set breakpoints (or source them from a file)
* type "continue" (or just "c") to resume qt player
* load an ogg vorbis file in qt player
* press play
* work in gdb as your breakpoints are hit.

=== A few useful gdb commands ===
; future-break : sets a breakpoint at a function from a dynamic library that hasn't been loaded yet
; rbreak regexp : break in any function matching regexp
; source fname : execute gdb commands found in fname

Also, stdout from any printf's ends up in console.log, which can be viewed in Console.app
