What do you like best about GDB (GNU Debugger)?
Breaking at a function (break points)
Check the call stack of a function (backtrace)
Put a read/write watchpoint for a variable/object (memory corruption)
Dumping memory Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about GDB (GNU Debugger)?
Live display of code (l command) , there is still inconsistency with the line and variables. TUI extensions help though.
Watchpoints make the code execution extremely slow. Can't even think about putting a watch point while kernel debug.
Kernel debugging with GDB (kgdb) is tedious and needs a lot of setup efforts. Also has lack of support here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GDB (GNU Debugger)?
GNU Debugger, which is also called gdb, is the most popular debugger for UNIX systems to debug C and C++ programs.
GNU Debugger helps you in getting information about the following:
If a core dump happened, then what statement or expression did the program crash on?
If an error occurs while executing a function, what line of the program contains the call to that function, and what are the parameters?
What are the values of program variables at a particular point during execution of the program?
What is the result of a particular expression in a program?
GDB allows you to run the program up to a certain point, then stop and print out the values of certain variables at that point, or step through the program one line at a time and print out the values of each variable after executing each line.
GDB uses a simple command line interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about GDB (GNU Debugger)?
Even though GDB can help you in finding out memory leakage related bugs, but it is not a tool to detect memory leakages.
GDB cannot be used for programs that compile with errors and it does not help in fixing those errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GDB (GNU Debugger)?
I should start my comment saying how much I like the debugger in "distance" mode and it communicates with the Stub and while I have the program on one machine, another is being debugged. For an old bantante program it is very well created. And if it is used to debug Linux the feeling is very good with GDB the program is very easy to use when you know the commands
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h> Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about GDB (GNU Debugger)?
As I mentioned in the first comment, the program is very useful for GDB debugging and for Linux and hakers I have not seen anything better in terms of programming but I feel that it has fallen a little behind with respect to time and should renew Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best thing is licence free, sw debugger, no additional hw or license is needed. Easy to use, man is there to help Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about GDB (GNU Debugger)?
No much graphical interface, so while started using, it will be harder. Usage of breakpoints is not that much impressive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
