Gdbserver is a computer program that makes it possible to remotely debug other programs [1] running on the same system as the program to be debugged, it allows the gnu debugger to connect from another system That is, only the executable to be debugged needs to be resident on the target system (target), while the source code and a copy of the binary file to be debugged reside on the. Winpdb debugging itself a debugger is a computer program used to test and debug other programs (the target programs) Common features of debuggers include the ability to run or halt the target program using breakpoints, step through code line by line, and display or modify the contents of memory, cpu registers, and stack frames The code to be examined might alternatively be running on an.
The intel compiler provides debugging information that is standard for the common debuggers (dwarf 2 on linux, similar to gdb, and coff for windows) The gnu c library, commonly known as glibc, is the gnu project implementation of the c standard library It provides a wrapper around the system calls of the linux kernel and other kernels for application use. Some of the features of c that make it a good target language include the #line directive, which can be generated by the compiler to support debugging of the original source, and the wide platform support available with c compilers. The gnu compiler collection (gcc) is a collection of compilers from the gnu project that support various programming languages, hardware architectures, and operating systems The free software foundation (fsf) distributes gcc as free software under the gnu general public license (gnu gpl).
