<h1>C & GDB</h1>
<h2 id="hello">Hello World</h2>
<p>Create file hello.c with;</p>
<pre>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello World!");
return 0;
}
</pre>
<p>Compile;</p>
<pre>
$ gcc -Wall hello.c -o hello
</pre>
<p>Run;</p>
<pre>
$./hello
Hello World!
</pre>
<h2 ="sources">Multiple Sources</h2>
<p>To organize code in multiple files split above
example in main.c, hello.c and hello.h. Content of
main.c;<p>
<pre>
#include "hello.h"
int main() {
hello("world");
return 0;
}
</pre>
<p>Header file contains declaration of the function hello,
content of hello.h;</p>
<pre>
void hello(const char* name);
</pre>
<p>Implementation of hello function in hello.c;</p>
<pre>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "hello.h"
void hello(const char* name) {
printf("Hello, %s!\n", name);
}
</pre>
<p>Compile;</p>
<pre>
$ gcc -Wall main.c hello.c -o hello
</pre>
<h2 id="makefile">Makefile</h2>
<p>Make reads a Makefile by default on current directory,
Makefile defines targets, for example executables and their
dependencies, for example object files and source files.<p>
<p>Create Makefile;</p>
<pre>
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-Wall
hello: main.o hello.o
clean:
rm -f hello main.o hello.o
</pre>
<pre>
$ touch NEWS README AUTHORS ChangeLog
</pre>
<h2 id="debug">Debug</h2>
<p>To use gdb you need to compile program with -g flag. Change
Makefile</p>
<pre>
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-Wall -g
hello: main.o hello.o
clean:
rm -f hello main.o hello.o
</pre>
<pre>
$ gdb hello
</pre>
<p>Set break point;</p>
<pre>
(gdb) break main
</pre>
<p>To start the program you can type run, this way gdb
will try to run the program until the end. If program
crash, gdb will stop it for debuging. Start program;</p>
<pre>
(gdb) run
</pre>
<p>Step in next line;</p>
<pre>
(gdb) s
</pre>
<p>Execute next line;</p>
<pre>
(gdb) n
</pre>
<p>To start gdb in TUI mode press;</p>
<dl>
<dt>Ctrl-x A</dt>
<dd>Enter or leave TUI.</dd>
<dt>Ctrl-x 1</dt>
<dd>TUI with only one window.</dd>
<dt>Ctrl-x 2</dt>
<dd>TUI with more than two windows.</dd>
<dt>Ctrl-x o</dt>

<p>Run again and step in hello function, to print
variable "name" value and type;</p>
