6.9 Debugging programs

To debug a program, it must be compiled with debug information. Compiling a program with debug information allows you to:

  1. Execute the program line by line.
  2. Run the program up to a certain point (a breakpoint).
  3. Inspect the contents of variables or memory locations while the program is running.
