# devel/gdb7 - The NetBSD Packages Collection

Symbolic debugger for multiple language frontends

       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.

       GDB can do four main kinds of things (plus other things in support
    of these) to help you catch bugs in the act:

       * Start your program, specifying anything that might affect its
         behavior.

       * Make your program stop on specified conditions.

       * Examine what has happened, when your program has stopped.

       * Change things in your program, so you can experiment with
         correcting the effects of one bug and go on to learn about
         another.
