hi, I am trying to learn how postgresql implements the join algorithms.
So I am trying to learn about the source code of the executor precisely the file nodenestloop.c . In the executor file I have nodenestloop.o but no binary executor file. I am using helios eclipse to edit the source code. I want to use gdb for debugging that file, but for that gdb needs a executor file. I want to Debug that file using gdb and attach the postgress process file. Could anyone help me with how to debug that file using gdb and attach a process, I know that we can find out about the pid of the process by using this command in psql, *select pg_backend_pid* , but how exactly are we going to give this pid to gdb. any help or related links wwould be grateful. Thank you
