GDB to a programmer is like a rifle to a soldier

Every serious programmer knows how invaluable the GNU debugger GDB for his or her work. Although, the content of this GDB manual is freely available, I find it very handy to have a hard copy. It is not surprising that the manual is well written because it has been revised many times by many developers of the open source community.

Worth the money

Even though this entire book is available online, I find it useful to own it. Starts with a simple example, which is my favorite way of getting started.

Found the answer I want

I was looking for information on cross-platform debugging. This manual provides adequate information. A printed manual is sometime helpful when you are so tired looking at the over crowded screen. Good reference! If you are trying to learn the machanism of debugging, you have to find some other book.
