Line by line c - c++ code debugging in Linux ubuntu [closed]

Question

I am coding using gedit in ubuntu and running program in terminal. While working in windows using Turboc or netbeans we can debug code line by line. How can we do it in ubuntu terminal? or any other option?

Answer 1

gdb (The Gnu debugger) is best choice

apt-get install gdb

man gdb

1.    cc -g file.c             //       compile your program ,this will generate a.out file with required debugging information   2.    gdb a.out                //        start with gdb  3.    b main                   //        to set break point at main         4.     run                     //        run now , and it will stop at break point main   5.     s                       //        option s is to step single line and even step into functions  6.     n                       //        option n is to execute next line and step over functions    7.     p    variable name      //        to print the value of variable at that particular instance very helpful
