c++ debugging G++

linuxmandrake · 12-28-2007, 06:44 PM

I have a program I've developed using C++ but occasionally it generates a segmentation fault. So I was wondering if there's a way I can execute my prog on the command line and print out the stack when the segmentation fault occurs. Also any other options which you think would help would be much appreciated. I used anjuta to compile my project.

I don't know about printing the stack, but you can use gdb to step through your code and find where the segmentation fault occurs. For this, you'll need to compile with g++'s -g option, which turns debugging symbols on or something (basically, it allows you to use gdb to debug). There's some info about gdb here (and there's a tutorial on how to use it linked from that page).
