[Content Overview]
Debugging is critical to the success or failure of the software. correct use of appropriate debugging tools can improve the efficiency of error discovery and correction. This book introduces three debuggers in detail. GDB is used to track programs, set breakpoints, check variables, and view program execution at specific times. DDD is a popular gdb gui front-end, eclipse provides a complete integrated development environment. The book not only cooperates with examples to discuss how to manage the memory, understand the dump memory, but also find errors in the tracking program. It also covers topics ignored by other similar books, such as threads, clients/servers, guis and parallel programs, and how to avoid common debugging traps ..

This book is suitable for software developers, managers and testers at all levels ....
