[SOLVED] gdb

Hi:

I have program foo which takes an argument. How do I tell gdb foo takes an argument (in the command line)?

You should be good with

Code:

gdb foo
[...]
(gdb)r arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4

It work. Thanks 414N.

Within gdb,

(gdb) r arg1

runs the program from where the pc is at that time with argument arg1. If I want to start a program from main, but telling gdb the program accepts argument arg1, but single stepping, how do I do?

You should set a breakpoint on the main function:

Code:

(gdb)break main

prior to running the program. When the breakpoint is reached, you can step through the lines of your program with the step command (s).

Have you guys tried using ddd
it's a nice front-end to gdb

(and other debuggers, and even perl I think)
