11.1SjwiseThis package contains formatted man pages on various C programming 21.1Sjwisedebugging utilities, such as: 31.1Sjwise 41.1Sjwise addr2line - translates program addresses into file names and line 51.1Sjwise numbers. Given an address and an executable, it uses the debugging 61.1Sjwise information in the executable to figure out which file name and 71.1Sjwise line number are associated with a given address; 81.1Sjwise 91.1Sjwise gcov - displays basic block profile / coverage data, if requested 101.1Sjwise via the C compiler gcc(1) command line options -fprofile-arcs and 111.1Sjwise -ftest-coverage. These options cause the compiler to insert 121.1Sjwise instrumentation into the object files it generates, which measure 131.1Sjwise how often each basic block is executed; 141.1Sjwise 151.1Sjwise gdb - is the GNU debugger. The purpose of a debugger such as GDB 161.1Sjwise is to allow you to see what is going on ``inside'' another program 171.1Sjwise while it executes, or what another program was doing at the moment 181.1Sjwise it crashed; 191.1Sjwise 201.1Sjwise gprof - displays call graph profile data. gprof produces an 211.1Sjwise execution profile of C, Pascal, or Fortran77 programs. 22
