Debugger gdb (1)
Outline
The gdb serves to perform source-level debugging by controlling an ICD. It also
comes with a simulating function that allows you to perform debugging on a
personal computer. gdb.exe supports Windows GUI. Commands that are used
frequently, such as break and step, are registered on the tool bar, minimizing the
necessary keyboard operations. Moreover, various data can be displayed in multi
windows, with resultant increased efficiency in the debugging tasks.
