1 1.1 jwise This package contains the man pages groff source on various C programming 2 1.1 jwise debugging utilities, such as: 3 1.1 jwise 4 1.1 jwise addr2line - translates program addresses into file names and line 5 1.1 jwise numbers. Given an address and an executable, it uses the debugging 6 1.1 jwise information in the executable to figure out which file name and 7 1.1 jwise line number are associated with a given address; 8 1.1 jwise 9 1.1 jwise gcov - displays basic block profile / coverage data, if requested 10 1.1 jwise via the C compiler gcc(1) command line options -fprofile-arcs and 11 1.1 jwise -ftest-coverage. These options cause the compiler to insert 12 1.1 jwise instrumentation into the object files it generates, which measure 13 1.1 jwise how often each basic block is executed; 14 1.1 jwise 15 1.1 jwise gdb - is the GNU debugger. The purpose of a debugger such as GDB 16 1.1 jwise is to allow you to see what is going on ``inside'' another program 17 1.1 jwise while it executes, or what another program was doing at the moment 18 1.1 jwise it crashed; 19 1.1 jwise 20 1.1 jwise gprof - displays call graph profile data. gprof produces an 21 1.1 jwise execution profile of C, Pascal, or Fortran77 programs. 22
