3 days
LinuxDebuggWS - Version:1
Description
What will you learn and practice • How to effectively use gdb. • Extending gdb to make a better developer experience. • How to debug memory problems with gdb and valgrind. • Debug multithreaded programs. • Debug with Time Travel. • Debug with GUI/TUI tools. • Create and debug core dump files • Remote debugging • Using strace, ltrace and ftrace, procdump and procmon tools • Use gdb extensions and customizations
Intended audience
Software engineers with hands-on experience developing C or C++ applications who need to up their debugging game. Some basic knowledge of Linux, bash, make/cmake is required.
