GDB
The GNU Project Debugger, GDB, Allows you to see 'inside' another program while it executes.
GDB can do four main kind of things to help you catch bugs in act:
- Start your program, specifying anything that might affect its behavior.
- Make your program stop on specified conditions.
- Examine what has happened, when your program has stopped.
- Change things in your program, so you can experiment with correcting effects of one bug and go on to learn about another.
