[Q-e-developers] Using Valgrind and GDB with QE

Hi Ye,

Thank you for your response! I just ran GDB to see if it was an issue with
valgrind alone, but I'm getting similar behaviour:

(gdb) where
#0  0x0000000100267d24 in __mbdvdw_module_MOD_mbdvdw_compute_tdip ()
#1  0x000000010026a392 in __mbdvdw_module_MOD_mbdvdw_compute_tlr ()
#2  0x000000010026ac7f in __mbdvdw_module_MOD_mbdvdw_compute_tlr_complex ()
#3  0x000000010026c425 in __mbdvdw_module_MOD_mbdvdw_tgg_complex ()
#4  0x0000000100288e0a in __mbdvdw_module_MOD_mbdvdw_check_quantity_dh ()
#5  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

(gdb) info symbol 0x0000000100288e0a
__mbdvdw_module_MOD_mbdvdw_check_quantity_dh + 4475 in section .text of
/Users/tmarkovich/Dropbox (Aspuru-Guzik
Lab)/Projects/MBD/mbd_espresso/PW/src/pw.x
(gdb) info symbol 0x0000000100267d24
__mbdvdw_module_MOD_mbdvdw_compute_tdip + 62 in section .text of
/Users/tmarkovich/Dropbox (Aspuru-Guzik
Lab)/Projects/MBD/mbd_espresso/PW/src/pw.x

Note, this was done with GDB 7.11. I have pasted my make.sys file below.

Best,
Thomas
