This package contains various C programming debugging utilities, such as:
|
|
|
|
addr2line - translates program addresses into file names and line
|
|
numbers. Given an address and an executable, it uses the debugging
|
|
information in the executable to figure out which file name and
|
|
line number are associated with a given address;
|
|
|
|
gcov - displays basic block profile / coverage data, if requested
|
|
via the C compiler gcc(1) command line options -fprofile-arcs and
|
|
-ftest-coverage. These options cause the compiler to insert
|
|
instrumentation into the object files it generates, which measure
|
|
how often each basic block is executed;
|
|
|
|
gdb - is the GNU debugger. The purpose of a debugger such as GDB
|
|
is to allow you to see what is going on ``inside'' another program
|
|
while it executes, or what another program was doing at the moment
|
|
it crashed;
|
|
|
|
gprof - displays call graph profile data. gprof produces an
|
|
execution profile of C, Pascal, or Fortran77 programs.
