	GDB: The GNU Project Debugger
		GDB, the GNU Project debugger, allows you to see what is going on `inside' another program while it executes -- or what another program was doing at the moment it crashed.
		Those programs might be executing on the same machine as GDB (native) or on another machine (remote).
		This page is maintained by the GDB developers.

	GDB Tutorial
		GDB has tons of features, however, you only need to use a few for it to be very helpful.
		The goal of gdb is to give you enough info to pinpoint where your program crashes, and find the bad pointer that is the cause of the problem.
		Emacs intercepts output from gdb and interprets it for you.

	gdb QuickStart (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Type "gdb [filename]" where [filename] is the name of the compiled file you wish to debug (the name you type to run your program).
		Since all of gdb is all in one window, when you are debugging you cannot see the source code for your program.
		gdb will print out the source code for the lines around the current line to be executed.

	Debugging "C" And "C++" Programs Using "gdb" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The explanations given here are specific to the "gdb" debugger, since there are no real standards regarding the activation and usage of debuggers, but once you know what features to expect from a debugger, it's not too hard to adapt your knowledge to different debuggers.
		It is possible to ask gdb to search for extra source files in some directory after launching it, but for now, it's easier to just invoke it from the correct directory.
		What happens is that gdb first tries looking for a "core" file named "9561" (we'll see what core files are in the next section), and when it won't find it, it'll assume the supplied number is a process ID, and try to attach to it.

	Linux software debugging with GDB
		Gdb is run from the shell with the command 'gdb' with the program name as a parameter, for example 'gdb eg', or you can use the file command once inside gdb to load a program for debugging, for example 'file eg'.
		Gdb told us that the arguments to the wib function were both equal to 8 so we might wish to examine the main() function which calls wib() to see when this happens.
		Gdb allows you to run shell commands without exiting the debugging environment with the shell command, invoked as 'shell [commandline]', useful for making changes to source code whilst debugging.

		Gdb allows you to start and stop your program at any point and view the current values of the program variables.
		If a program crashes, then gdb can be used to determine the statement that caused the crash and display the values that the program variables had when the crash cocurred.
		Gdb cannot be used for programs that do not compile without errors.

	GDB Debugger
		You can use GDB to examine this core file to determine where and hopefully why your program crashed.
		GDB will detect the core file and see that it came from a.out and will read it.
		You can now use the GDB command where to display the function call stack and determine which function (and which line number in that function) was executing when your program crashed.

	GDB for GNAT
		GDB selects a syntax for expressions depending on its "current language," which by default is selected automatically based on the name of the source file containing the function attached to the currently-selected frame.
		As a result, changes to GDB to support GNAT were largely localized to specific, new GNAT-related modules, and we were able to proceed independently of work on the debugging format.

	Embedding with GNU: GNU Debugger
		Among gdb’s many noteworthy features is its ability to debug programs “remotely,” in a setup where the platform running gdb itself (the host) is connected to the platform running the application being debugged (the target) via a serial port, network connection, or some other means.
		Table 1 is a transcript of a typical gdb debugging session, during which gdb initiates communications with a remote target running a debugging stub, downloads a program, sets a breakpoint, and then runs the program.
		As I’ve already mentioned, gdb’s strengths (besides its cost) lie in its feature list, its uniform applicability across many host platforms and debug targets, and the degree to which its behavior can be tailored to meet the specific demands of an embedded debugging target.

	Guide to Faster, Less Frustrating Debugging
		A typical usage of gdb runs as follows: After starting up gdb, we set breakpoints, which are places in the code where we wish execution to pause.
		After recompiling, when you issue the r command to rerun your program, gdb will notice that the source file is now newer than the binary executable file which it had been using, and thus will automatically reload the new binary before the rerun.
		In this section we will introduce gdb by showing a script file record of its use on an actual program.In order to distinguish between line numbers in the script file from line numbers within the C source files, I have placed a `g' at the beginning of each of the former.

	GDB Internals
		GDB is a large and complicated program, and if you first starting to work on it, it can be hard to know where to start.
		GDB can be directed to use a different file for symbols (with the "symbol-file" command), and it can also read more symbols via the "add-file" and "load" commands, or while reading symbols from shared libraries.
		GDB needs to know this so that it can subtract this address from absolute addresses in the upage, that are obtained via ptrace or from core files.

	Debugging Objective-C with non-ObjC-aware gdb
		However, if the type is not declared or the object stored in the variable is not anymore of the declared type, you have to find out the class of the Object and then tell gdb to inspect the object like you would to inspect a structure.
		The calls in the code example may be done like this in gdb, assuming that Object foo1 already exists (that means, execution of the program already passed line 1).
		There's no solution for this yet and I think it is more likely that gdb will be extended to understand [foo2 do: "Text" with: 4] directly.

	Using GDB, the GNU Debugger
		This is most easily accomplished by running gdb in the same directory as the source files and executable are in.
		Especially if the file you want to debug is rather large, you may want to skip using breakpoints to step through to an error and make a preliminary diagnosis of your program by using run right after loading to get to the source of your problem and examine how the program crashes.
		It is worth noting that it is possible to use a grapical version of gdb if the command line version is too obtuse.
