Back to the Club's homepage  Advanced GDb - David Khosid   In
general, I will be sharing my discovery with you: When the
debugging of modern software is required, basic GDB techniques
are insufficient, but new techniques can be created from the
nearly 160 commands available in GDB. "Modern software" refers
to multi- threading, using STL and other libraries, IPC, signals
and exception mechanisms. In this lecture, I will explain
techniques for debugging large, modern software written in C++.
The presentation will be accompanied by vivid examples for all
the topics.  Covered topics:    1. Preparing a program for
debugging; starting the debug session   2. Controlling GDB:
getting help, navigating, using breakpoints and watchpoints   3.
Extending GDB through user-defined commands   4. Analyzing STL
containers and algorithms   5. Dealing with multi-threading, C++
exceptions   6. Managing signals   7. Automating repetitive
tasks on the almost unchanging code base   8. Remote debugging
