Re: GLUG: C/C++ IDE

["Andrew McGill" <andrewm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For those whose minds are too small to grok emacs and the grande unifiede
disaster, I present the instant gdb tutorial.  And it works without X and
other fancy stuff.

Debuging foobar with gdb

. Edit the Makefile, include -g in the COPTS define (or whatever is passed
to the cc).  This compiles with debugging information.  (If you want to get
rid of the debugging info later use "strip foobar").

. make clean ; make
. gdb ./foobar
. break main
. set args="the arguments we need today"
. run

The program will run up to the beginning of main(), so you can think.
. s : step:  step into function
. n : next:  step over function to next line
. print x  (or just p x)
. set x=300   (change value)
. b function_name : break function_name (set a breakpoint at rpaction)
. c : continue (run until break or breakpoint)
. bt : backtrace -- show how we got to where we are

You can also interrupt the execution with ctrl+C or Ctrl+Z, then type
"next" a few times,
which should get you to familiar parts of the program.

Hi ppl,

Is there an IDE available for gcc with stepping / watches etc.
To view contents of variables etc. like borland c++ etc.

Debugging is a pain under linux... (please help)
