[Debug BEAM VM] How can I debug Segmentation fault from 3rd party lib?
Hello,
first a bit of context:
I am using Elixir with Kafka extensively.
Lib for connecting to Kafka I am using is GitHub - silviucpp/erlkaf: Erlang kafka driver based on librdkafka · GitHub
It depends on a well known C++ Kafka driver GitHub - confluentinc/librdkafka: The Apache Kafka C/C++ library · GitHub
librdkafka works great most of the time, but sometimes on startup it throws Segmentation fault errors, and I would like to debug the C++ code.
Question:
Is there a way to compile the BEAM VM with C debug flags and connect it to some C debugger (prob not gdb but something for LLVM, right?)
I am using Mac with i7 Intel proc, installed Erlang and Elixir with asdf.
Tnx in advance,
Vlx
