7.1 Redis源码下载与编译
Redis源码下载与编译在前面已经说过了，同学们可以去第04课：GDB常用命令详解(上）学习。
编译成功后，会在src目录下生成多个可执行程序，其中redis-server和redis-cli使我们即将调试的程序，进入src目录，使用GDB启动redis-server这个程序。

以上是redis-server启动成功后的画面。
我们再开一个session，再次进入Redis源码所在的src目录，然后使用GDB启动Redis客户端redis-cli:
wzq@wzq-PC:~/Desktop/redis-5.0.3/src$ gdb redis-cli GNU gdb (Debian 7.12-6+b2) 7.12.0.20161007-git Copyright (C) 2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

以上是redis-cli启动成功后的画面。
7.2 通信示例
本课程的学习目的是研究Redis的网络通信模块，为了说明问题方便，我们使用一个简单的通信实例，即通过redis-cli产生一个可以为“hello”，值为“world”的key-value数据，然后得到redis-server的响应。
127.0.0.1:6379> set hello world OK 127.0.0.1:6379>
读者需要注意的是，我这里说是一个“简单”的实例，其实并不简单。有两个原因：
-我们是在redis-cli（Redis客户端）输入的命令，这个命令经redis-cli处理后封装成网络通信包，通过客户端的网络通信模块发给redis-server，然后redis-server网络通信模块收到后解析出命令，执行命令后得到结果再封装成相关的网络数据包，返回给redis-cli。这个过程中涉及到两端的网络通信模块使我们研究和学习的重点。
-redis-server基本的数据类型都是可以通过类似的命令产生，因此这个例子是一个典型的研究redis的典范。
7.3小结
这节课介绍了我们利用调试Redis源码来学习GDB的一些准备工作和实例代码，有兴趣的读者可以根据本节课中介绍的内容准备一些学习材料，以备后面的进一步学习，从下一课开始我们正式利用GDB来调试Redis。
