rsync - Dec 2008 - how to debug the rsync function start_client

I am a student in computer science, several weeks ago, i learn the rsync
algorithm and i am very interested in it.
 I use the gdb to debug the rsync,but when i enter the function start_client
, I use bt to find the function stacks,but i cannot find
the function ,why?
and how can i to see the start_client function and  continue to debug the
function.

If you want to study the rsync algorithm, I suggest that you use the
rdiff tool that comes with librsync ( http://librsync.sourcefrog.net/ ),
which implements just this algorithm.  The full rsync program has lots
of other features that may be a distraction.
