7 pro tips for using the GDB step command @opensourceway

A debugger is software that runs your code and examines any problems it finds. GNU Debugger (GBD) is one of the most popular debuggers.

In this article, I examine GDB’s step command and related commands for several common use cases. Step is a widely used command but there are a few lesser known things about it which might be confusing. Also, there are ways to step into a function without actually using the step command itself such as using the less known advance command.

Here are the topics covered:

  • No debugging symbols
  • Stepi
  • Complicated function call
  • Tbreak
  • Disable command
  • Advance location
  • Skipping a function
  • GDB step command
