Asking on a Forum

When you are going to ask a question on a forum, please follow these steps.

• Use google and the search of the forum (Search in Daphne)

• Include the complete error message using copy-and-paste and do not write your own!

• Include relevant parts of your code with line numbers. Without line numbers nobody can guess which part has problems.

• If a function-call is included, show the header/signature and code (e.g. in C++ relevant parts of both .h and .cpp).

• If it's a memory management error ("segmentation fault", "Speicherzugriffsfehler", "memory corruption") or if it does not occur on Jenkins/it is not always reproducible:

  • Use a debugger (for C++ gdb)

  • Use a memory profiler (for C++ valgrind)

  • Post logs from both if it didn't help locating and fixing the error.
• Commit the current state to the svn.
• Write that the error is produced by the version in the svn.
