This is the best book in the market for gdb. It is full of details and examples, if you would take time to read it.
The INDEX at the end of the book is very well kept.
There are many chapters for newbies and the illustrated examples are simple and easy to follow.
There are also lots of deep and gory details if you need them.

Even though this entire book is available online, I find it useful to own it. Starts with a simple example, which is my favorite way of getting started.

I was looking for information on cross-platform debugging. This manual provides adequate information. A printed manual is sometime helpful when you are so tired looking at the over crowded screen. Good reference! If you are trying to learn the machanism of debugging, you have to find some other book.

This is the best way to learn gdb, either as a reference or as a study material. It covers a lot.

gdb is the most used debugger and this book covers what you need no matter
what you want to do.

gdb is used on many platforms, ranging from vxworks, windows, mac, gnu/linux, unix, etc. gdb is the most powerful debugger and therefore
a book like this is a must because no gui frontend gives you full control

Every serious programmer knows how invaluable the GNU debugger GDB for his or her work. Although, the content of this GDB manual is freely available, I find it very handy to have a hard copy. It is not surprising that the manual is well written because it has been revised many times by many developers of the open source community.

Lets see if Amazon.com allows the link. You have to respect
the wishes of a man like Richard Stallman.
