GDB (GNU Debugger) is a powerful debugging tool that allows us to monitor and control the implementation of programs written in languages such as C, C++, and Fortran. With GDB, our developers will run programs in a controlled environment, step through code line by line, set breakpoints, and examine the state of variables and memory at different points in the execution. It is an essential tool for diagnosing and fixing bugs, understanding program flow, and optimizing code. GDB also supports debugging multi-threaded and distributed applications, making it suitable for a wide range of complex software development tasks. The command-line interface offers a versatile and scriptable environment, facilitating sophisticated debugging methods and automation. Utilizing GDB enables developers to acquire profound insights into the behavior of their applications, thereby enhancing code quality and reliability.
The steps necessary for installing GDB have been provided by our developers.
