To know programming , one of the most important things to learn is Debugging.
Without this skill, no one can be a complete developer.
Without this skill, no one can be a complete developer.
almost every programming environment provide a dedicated debugger integrated with the IDE for this purpose only.
As i am into C/C++ on linux platform, my development toolkit contains gcc/g++, Vim, Eclipse + CDT, and Gdb as the choice of Debugger.
Although eclipse provides GUI based debugging integrated with the IDE, learning the tools of trade and using them from command line has a different high.
So, aspiring to become a complete developer, i have embarked on the tedious journey of trying to master the untamable Gdb.
and who else to refer to than the legendary author of Gdb, Stallman himself, he along with the other developers have written an exhaustive manual covering all the intricacies of Gdb.
For those who want to follow a more user friendly text, you can refer "The Art of Debugging With GDB and DDD and Eclipse" published by "NOSTARCH".
Will keep updated on the progress i make.

Ishan
