What are some effective JNI debugging tools?

Some popular JNI debugging tools include GDB, LLDB, and Android Studio's built-in debugger. Do you need help with a specific tool?

Can you explain how to use GDB for JNI debugging?

Sure! To use GDB for JNI debugging, you need to compile your native code with debugging symbols and then run GDB with your Java application. Would you like a step-by-step guide?

Yes, please provide the steps.

1. Compile your native code with -g flag.
2. Start your Java application with java -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=*:5005 YourMainClass.
3. In another terminal, run gdb --args java YourMainClass.
4. Set breakpoints and start debugging!

What about using Android Studio for JNI debugging?

In Android Studio, you can set breakpoints in your native code, run your app in debug mode, and the debugger will stop at those breakpoints, allowing you to inspect variables and step through the code.
