Welcome to the GDB Wiki

This wiki contains information about the GNU Debugger.

Questions? Try the FAQ. If that doesn't work, you can ask on the mailing list, gdb@sourceware.org. A number of developers also hang out on irc.libera.chat #gdb; questions are welcome there.

Some other information, including the manual, is on the GDB web site.
