Good C debugger ?
I'm a C newbie using gcc. I wrote a program but a part of it outputs gibberish onto the terminal. Its weird because identical parts of the program work correctly in another program I wrote
. My program uses c99 + some POSIX headers. It compiles with no errors/warnings even though I have included all the flags I could get hold of.
I do not understand how to use -g so can anybody recommend a C debugger (that speaks english, lol)? At this point I am even willing to switch to Windows...
Can anybody at least add other useful flags ?
