Debugging GCC Programs
The primary tool used to debug GCC code is the GNU Debugger (gdb). Among more specialized tools are Valgrind, for finding memory errors and leaks, and the graph profiler (gprof) that can determine how much time is spent in which routines, and how often they are called; this requires programs to be compiled with profiling options.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
