Many Linux and Unix developers are familiar with the GNU debugger (GBD), the invaluable
open source tool for testing, fixing, and retesting software. And since GDB can
be ported to Windows, Microsoft developers and others who use this platform can
also take advantage of this amazing free software that allows you to see exactly
what's going on inside of a program as it's executing. This new pocket guide gives
you a convenient quick reference for using the debugger with several different
programming languages, including C, C++, Java, Fortran and Assembly.
The GNU debugger is the most useful tool during the testing phase of the software
development cycle because it helps you catch bugs in the act. You can see what
a program was doing at the moment it crashed, and then readily pinpoint and
correct problem code. With the GDB Pocket Reference on hand, the process is
quick and painless. The book covers the essentials of using GBD is a testing
environment, including how to specify a target for debugging and how to make
a program stop on specified conditions.
This handy guide also provides details on using the debugger to examine the
stack, source files and data to find the cause of program failure-and then explains
ways to use GBD to make quick changes to the program for further testing and
debugging.
The ability to spot a bug in real time with GDB can save you hours of frustration,
and having a quick way to refer to GBD's essential functions is key to making
the process work. Once you get your hands on the GDB Pocket Reference, you'll
never let go!
