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!
