Debugging programs

Debugging is the process of locating and fixing program bugs or problems. Interactive debugging, data/control flow analysis, and unit and integration testing are all examples of this. We will only cover interactive debugging in this part, which is the process of executing your source code line by line with breakpoints while displaying the values of the variables being used and corresponding memory addresses.

Tools for debugging a C/C++ program

There are several tools accessible in the C++ community, depending on your development environment. The following is a list of the most popular ones across various platforms:

  • Linux/Unix:
    • GDB: A free open source command-line interface (CLI) debugger.
    • Eclipse: A free open source integrated development environment (IDE). It supports not only debugging but also compiling, profiling, and smart editing.
    • Valgrind: Another open source dynamic analysis tool; it is good for debugging memory leaks and threading bugs.
    • Affinic...
