Running Programs Under GDB

When you run a program under GDB, you must first generate debugging information when you compile it. You may start it with its arguments, if any, in an environment of your choice. You may redirect your program's input and output, debug an already running process, or kill a child process.

• Compilation: Compiling for debugging
• Starting: Starting your program
• Arguments: Your program's arguments
• Environment: Your program's environment
• Working Directory: Your program's working directory
• Input/Output: Your program's input and output
• Attach: Debugging an already-running process
• Kill Process: Killing the child process
• Process Information: Additional process information
• Threads: Debugging programs with multiple threads
