Meanwhile, I used couple of debugging tools as well such as: Visual studio ddd (gui solution to gdb) Visual Studio I liked Visual studio for debugging because it is very easy to use. Some of the common reasons: We are actually able to see source code while debugging. We are able to find the values of each variable thereonly just by hovering the mouse.  ddd Similarly, ddd also has the similar facility i.e. One can see source code while debugging.
