First, be sure to compile with the -g flag to include debugging information. Then, run gdb <program name> to start debugging. A few of the commands available are: > run Starts the program > break <line number> Create a breakpoint at <line number>. > step Executes the current line of the program. > print <variable> Prints out the value of <variable>. 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!
