Important: Before debugging, ensure that your development environment is fully set up and all necessary dependencies are installed.

Debugging

This guide will walk you through the process of identifying and resolving crashes in LÖVE Potion using gdb (GNU Debugger) and a specialized command-line tool for deeper analysis.

Setting Up the Debug Environment​

To debug crashes, you will need:

  • gdb: A powerful, open-source debugger.
  • addr2line: A command-line tool that converts memory addresses into specific lines of code for easier debugging.

devkitPro provides both gdb and addr2line for both Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch. Install gdb with the following, as addr2line was already installed when setting up the environment:

pacman -S devkitARM-gdb devkitA64-gdb
