WhaL ls a bug?
A bug ls an error whlch appears aL Lhe Llme of execuLlon of a
program ln Lhe form of C8ASP
lL appears when Lhe Cu sklps an lnsLrucLlon due Lo some
amblgulLy ln Lhe program
WhaL ls a debugger?
A debugger ls a program meanL Lo debug oLher programs lL
follows Lhe program Lhrough execuLlon so you can waLch your
program execuLe sLep by sLep and vlew Lhe conLenLs of
memory lL can also be used Lo examlne core flles whlch are
produced by a program durlng a crash
Why Are 1hey used?
uebuggers are a necessary parL of Lhe englneerlng process
when deallng wlLh someLhlng as complex as sofLware
sysLems All lnLeracLlons cannoL be predlcLed speclflcaLlons
usually are noL wrlLLen Lo Lhe level of programmlng deLalls
and lmplemenLaLlon ls an lnherenLly dlfflculL and errorprone
process As sofLware geLs conLlnuously more complex
debuggers become more and more lmporLanL ln Lracklng
down problems
CRASH!!!! CRASH!!!!
