In the realm of software development, debugging is an essential skill that every developer must harness to efficiently resolve issues within their applications. The GNU Debugger, commonly known as GDB, is one of the most powerful and widely used debugging tools in the Linux environment. It helps programmers to see what is going on ‘inside’ another program while it executes or what another program was doing at the moment it crashed. GDB offers facilities for tracing your programs extensively under controlled conditions, and includes features for quickly finding segmentation faults, memory leaks, and logical errors which would consume hours to detect manually.
