How to debug c/c++ pgm in linux? (step-by-step execution)?
You can use gdb (the GNU debugger) to step through programs on Linux.





First, be sure to compile with the -g flag to include debugging information.





Then, run gdb %26lt;program name%26gt; to start debugging.





A few of the commands available are:





%26gt; run





Starts the program





%26gt; break %26lt;line number%26gt;





Create a breakpoint at %26lt;line number%26gt;.





%26gt; step





Executes the current line of the program.





%26gt; print %26lt;variable%26gt;





Prints out the value of %26lt;variable%26gt;.








There are a lot more commands available, and can be found by using the help command in gdb. Additionally, there are a *ton* of gdb resources and guides available on the web.





Hope this helps!
