Common-Description:
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.
.
GDB can do four main kinds of things (plus other things in support of these) to
help you catch bugs in the act:
.
* Start your program, specifying anything that might affect its behavior.
* Make your program stop on specified conditions.
* Examine what has happened, when your program has stopped.
* Change things in your program, so you can experiment with correcting the
effects of one bug and go on to learn about another.
.
Those programs might be executing on the same machine as GDB (native), on
another machine (remote), or on a simulator.
