Description

GDB, or the GNU Project debugger, enables users to observe the internal workings of a program during its execution or determine what the program was doing at the time of a crash. To get started, launch your application while taking into account any factors that could influence its performance. Once your program halts, analyze the events that transpired up to that point. You can modify elements within your program to test fixes for one issue and subsequently explore additional problems. These programs may be run on the same device as GDB (native), on a separate machine (remote), or through a simulator. GDB is compatible with most well-known UNIX systems, Microsoft Windows editions, and Mac OS X. Additionally, inferior objects now feature a read-only attribute called 'connection_num', which displays the connection number as seen in the 'info connections' and 'info inferiors' commands. Furthermore, a new method named gdb.Frame.level() has been introduced, providing the stack level associated with the frame object, thereby enhancing the debugging experience significantly.

Description

Z/XDC offers developers an interactive and source-level debugging experience for mainframe programs within any z/OS environment, enabling them to navigate through live code, monitor variables in real-time, and address issues more swiftly than conventional techniques allow. By eliminating the guesswork inherent in traditional debugging, it grants comprehensive, real-time insight into program execution and introduces advanced debugging features to mainframe development. With Z/XDC, developers can significantly cut down on debugging durations, transforming a process that typically takes days into one that can be accomplished in hours, allowing them to test hypotheses instantly without the need for lengthy recompilation, make spontaneous modifications, run “what if” scenarios, correct problems, and validate solutions efficiently. Among its capabilities, Z/XDC allows for precise line-by-line stepping through code, instant code alterations, flag adjustments, modifications of data fields and registers, control over the Program Status Word (PSW), and the ability to load or delete modules, as well as manage memory with GETMAINs and FREEMAINs, and post Event Control Blocks. Additionally, it ensures source-level visibility, allowing developers to view the code as initially written, automatically load source image maps from ADATA, and access a variety of other helpful features, making it an indispensable tool for modern mainframe programming. This integration of advanced debugging functionalities enhances overall productivity and streamlines the development workflow for programmers working in mainframe environments.
