Introduction to the GNU Project Debugger : GDB
Pierre Aubert
Prerequisites
Compiler
We are going to use the GCC-7 compiler (you can possibly use an old compiler for this tutorial but I don't have one). If you are stucked with an other compiler or with an older version of GCC you can install it with Anaconda (in your tutorial environement) :conda install gcc7
Follow with Docker
This lecture can be followed with a docker image :docker pull gitlab-registry.in2p3.fr/cta-lapp/cours/introduction_gdb/introduction-gdb docker run -it -p 8888:8888 gitlab-registry.in2p3.fr/cta-lapp/cours/introduction_gdb/introduction-gdb
Debugger
We wille use gdb (>= 7.11.1) to debug our programs.Intallation
On Ubuntu :sudo apt-get install gdb
On Fedora :
sudo yum install gdb
On OSX :
- You can download the GDB source at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb and compile it
- You can install it from brew or port
With :
brew install gdb
or :
port install gdb
Compilation tools
We will use CMake and Make to compile our programs.The correction of the whole tutorial is available here.
