I have just one .cpp file and I compile it with g++ on ubuntu terminal.

Then when I call gdb myProgram, I get no debugging symbols found.

I need to step through the code, to debug it. I don't know how to make it work.

I know how to use gdb, but not sure how to compile my .cpp file so that it has debug information for gdb to use.

Solution

  • You need to compile with the -g flag. See here:
