invoking GNU debugger for C program

cleopard · 05-01-2008, 10:37 AM

I've used GNU before on C programs, but not on a C program that takes in command line parameters. I have a program that takes as input an IP address as well as another integer, and I tried to invoke it like this:

gdb ./prog XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 5

but the parameters weren't recognized. I looked at the 'man' page for gdb, but none of the switches looked like they would have anything to do with this. Thanks in advance.

I took another look at the 'man' page and saw the '--args' switch and that's apparently what I need. Helps to open my eyes.

You can also pass arguments via

run args...

or

set args ...
