Say I have a main.c
So I run "gdb main.c"
main.c calls/goes into a function in somefile.c
How do I set a breakpoint in somefile.c?

Print this out and keep it near by whenever you need to use GDB: GDB Quick Reference card
Looks like you'd type: b [file:]line
ex. b somefile.c:31
Wow you are awesome! Worked like a charm!Originally Posted by cpjust

Another quick question:
When you are in Putty, and the cursor is at the top of the window, you press UP and it does a Page Up.
Is there any way to scroll up line-by-line? (IE you press up, ONE line disappears at the bottom and ONE more line is visible at the top. Rather than 20 lines at a time). (Useful for when you want to keep looking at two different things in a file.)
Putty is just a telnet client.
Which editor are you using once you login? ex. vi, emacs...
Oh, Emacs
Is this particular functionality not controlled by Putty?
If not, is there a way to change Emacs to do this?
I never use emacs, so I can't help much there; I just use plain old vi.
Does anyone else here know how to change the behavior of emacs?
Try adding this to your .emacs file:
EDIT: You can do it interactively by typing:Code:(setq scroll-step 1)
M-x set-variable <enter> scroll-step <enter> 1 <enter>
Where can I find that file?
(I'm using Putty to SSH into my school's Unix terminals)
It's a file in your home directory. If it's not there, create it and add that line to it (but it should be there)
Created a " .emacs" file and added that line.
Worked great!!! Thanks!!!
I have a while loop that just randomly stops on one of the iterations (after a few hundred times). How can I set a breakpoint (or a watch point) for that time?
I set a breakpoint for the line number in the loop. Then set a watchpoint (watch variable="BLACK"). Then delete the breakpoint so it can keep running so I don't have go through all 500 loops. But inside the loop, a function is called, and once it goes to that function, the watchpoint is automatically deleted.
Any tips?
For purposes of debugging, alter the variable you are watching to be a global variable. That way, the watchpoint can persist across calls. Of course, change it back when done.
