"There is a large learning curve, but it is worth the investment"
What do you like best about GDB (GNU Debugger)?

GDB is essential to a hacker. It works for many languages. It also allows a user to connect via network sockets so GUI applications can be debugged. Also, because the tool is so old, it has a lot of shortcuts, hotkeys, and tricks to learn, meaning that its power grows as you learn it better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GDB (GNU Debugger)?

The tool is a bit arcane. It is a tool that was built for the era of unix hacking, not for the era of web development. The documentation reflects its age by being a bit crusty looking. I personally know that old tools are well worn and well formed tools, but the neophyte in me is always looking for a new (and probably worse) technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Debugging using gdb will slow the program execution.Since high performance issues can not debugged using gdb.Since program execution slowed down user can not get any idea about high performance issue

Addrres sanitizer flag must be used while compiling otherwise memory corruption issue can not be identified using gdb.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a learning curve for picking up this debugger effectively. The 'print' command is your friend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
