Best debugger for C and C++

|GDB (GNU Debugger)
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.

Debugging tool for .exe file

|GDB (GNU Debugger)
Best part of Gnu debugger is Very use to use and trace the fault within small time. Code dumped and unexpected behavior you can get to know easily. Break point, display and read command enhance its features.

What is Free Software Foundation?

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1985 by Richard Stallman with the mission to promote computer user freedom and to defend the rights of all free software users. The FSF facilitates the development and use of free (as in freedom, not free of charge) software – particularly the GNU operating system and its GNU/Linux variants – and campaigns against threats to user freedoms like software patents and digital restrictions management (DRM). The foundation also provides critical resources to support the development and legal protection of free software, including software licensing, compliance, and education on the benefits of using and contributing to free software. The FSF's website, https://fsf.org, serves as a hub for its advocacy efforts, offering news, a comprehensive library of free software, and other resources for both the technical community and the general public.
