I usually start Squid from gdb when debugging, and have logging enabled
on stdout (-d on 1.2beta).

Typical 1.2beta session:

% gdb squid
gdb> r -DNYCd
....

-D to disable DNS lookups (I am usually off line when doing this).
-N to turn off daemon mode (needed to be able to debug interactively)
-C to let the debugger catch fatal signals when they do occur. It does a
much better job, and gets confused if Squid traps them.
-d to show the log on stdout

Then in squid.conf I have debug_options set to full logging for the part
I am debugging.

And if you are thinking about Squid programming/debugging, please join
squid-dev@nlanr.net (requests to join are sent to Duane
<wessels@nlanr.net>). You do not need to be a Squid expert to join
squid-dev.
