GDB (GNU Debugger)
Documentation: GDB
GDB is GNU's command line interface debugging tool.
Getting started
GDB is available on NREL machines and supports a number of languages, including C, C++, and Fortran.
When using GDB, make sure the program you are attempting to debug has been compiled with the -g debug flag and with the -O0 optimization flag to achieve the best results.
Run GDB with the following command: gdb --args my_executable arg1 arg 2 arg3
This will launch gdb running my_executable, and passes arguments arg1, arg2, and arg3 to my_executable.
For links to in-depth tutorials and walkthroughs of GDB features, please see Resources.
