Debugging with GDB--overview

This is the study note of debugging with GDB.

1. Overview (Summary)

The role of a debugger (such as GDB) is to see what is going on inside another program when it executes, or what it is doing when a program crashes.

Specifically, GDB can do four things to help programmers find bugs in the program:

A. Start the program, set various parameters that can affect the operation of the program;

B. To allow the procedure to stop under certain conditions;

C. See what happens after the program stops;

D. After a bug in the hotfix, continue to view the program's behavior.

GDB can be used to debug programs written in the C or C + + languages. (For specific language support, see the original ...) ）
