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.
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.
GDB helps users debug programs on the Linux platform. It can also be used for core dump analysis. After a crash, the core file can be used to debug the application. Users must enable core file creation using ulimit. Multi-threaded applications can also be debugged using GDB. Users can select the thread to debug using the "thread" command in GDB. By specifying the thread number, users can switch threads using the thread command. The info command can be used to find the number of threads and the thread number for each thread. When a crash occurs, the backtrace can be checked using the "bt" command. The value of variables can also be printed using the print command. Core dump analysis is one of the useful things a developer can perform to find the real reason for a crash. The core file can be used for core dump analysis. Users need to enable core file creation using the ulimit command. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Debugging using GDB will slow down program execution. High-performance issues cannot be debugged using GDB. Since program execution is slowed down, users cannot get any idea about high-performance issues. The address sanitizer flag must be used while compiling; otherwise, memory corruption issues cannot be identified using GDB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love how portable this debugger is. Once you find your way around the common debugging commands, you can easily debug from the command line and examine memory. 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.
