Debugging GCC Programs
The primary tool used to debug GCC code is the GNU Debugger (gdb). Among more specialized tools are Valgrind, for finding memory errors and leaks, and the graph profiler (gprof) that can determine how much time is spent in which routines, and how often they are called; this requires programs to be compiled with profiling options.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
