gdbgui can debug executables generated from various languages. This folder contains example source code and makefiles to build and automatically launch gdbgui.

To get started, first clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/cs01/gdbgui.git

If you already installed gdbgui with pip, you have all dependencies installed. If not, you need to install them manually:

pip install -r gdbgui/requirements.txt  # run as sudo if this fails

Enter the directory with the language of your choice in gdbgui/examples/* (c, cpp, rust, golang, fortran), then type make and hit the tab to see the make targets.

For example, in gdbgui/examples/c, running make hello will:

• build the binary (assuming you have the right compilers and libraries installed)
• open a new tab in your browser
• load the executable for the make target you just built
• insert a breakpoint at main (Rust and Go users may see machine code displayed rather than source code. This is a gdb limitation.)
• Note: Although the program has loaded, you still must click the run icon to actually begin running the program.
