- .description
- The purpose of a debugger such as GDB is to allow you to see what is
- going on "inside" another program while it executes, or what another
- program was doing at the moment it crashed.
-
- GDB can do four main kinds of things (plus other things in support of
- these) to help you catch bugs in the act: (1) start your program,
- specifying anything that might affect its behavior, (2) make your
- program stop on specified conditions, (3) examine what has happened,
- when your program has stopped, (4) change things in your program, so
- you can experiment with correcting the effects of one bug and go on to
- learn about another.
-
- You can use GDB to debug programs written in C, C++, and Modula-2.
- Fortran support will be added when a GNU Fortran compiler is ready.
-
- This is currently only a partial amiga port. This archive contains
- the Amiga binary and documentation.
