The steps are simple. You need to compile your C++ program with
debugger symbols on. By default, the binary does not include debug
information to make it fast and reliable. Then load the executable in
the debugger, if the debugger is smart it will find the related code
file otherwise show it the source code also. Put some breakpoints and
hit 'step', 'next' or 'continue'.

Dynamic languages differ from static languages very much.
Ruby/Python/Perl etc. are very different than C/C++. It is a very good
habit to code in TDD/BDD or whatever test-first/test-oriented
development. But still sometimes debugging is necessary. Yes, even in
Ruby or Python. C++ users are already writing too much code that's why
they avoid writing unit tests. C++ also has great unit testing tools.
You can use cucumber to test C++. In fact, people are writing more
unit tests in C++ also.

To summarize: yes, you should be writing code with unit tests. Still,
you need to debug sometimes.

In ruby, we use various test over debugging. Cucumber, Shoulda, 
Test::Unit etc. I've never really used any debugger at all :(

A very good news that is! In our times, we were bound to use whatever

DDD is a good frontend for gdb. http://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/

OT: SublimeText2 is not released yet, and it is a closed source
project. It'll also cost money when it is released. I hope it will not
die like textmate. TextMate is a great example of why closed-source
projects are risky to use. It only lived a couple of years, while vim,
emacs are there for forever, improving every now and then.


Textmate 2 is in development AFAIK. And Sublime 2 dev is VERY active 
releasing 13~15 builds per month.


And thanks for your reply :)

Yes that's why I don't want to use IDE. After I learn a language, I 
might want to shift to an IDE to get a productivity boost, but not 
before that.

Try codeblocks then, lightweight.

I heard (and saw) Visual Studio 2010 is great but haven't used it.

I use sublime text (Textmate clone ) and seem to really love it. The 
idea is to sticking to a text editor and utilize the debugging facility, 
in a crisp way :)


I don't code in C/CPP . Varsity projects are too small to code on an 
IDE  IMO :-)


How is visual studio 2010 , just asking.

If you need integrated support with IDE, Codeblocks is a good option.
If you don't have a problem with heavy IDE, give Eclipse a try, it's better.

Haven't used any standalone frontend of GDB.
