Book Review: GDB Pocket Reference

The GDB Pocket Reference is a useful book to anyone who does any serious work with the GNU Debugger (GDB). It lays out the basic usage of GDB and contains three lists of commands that can be used by their type (set and show commands, info commands, and general GDB commands). The layout is simple and straight-forward which makes information easily available to the novice and expert alike.

For anyone that is doing coding with gcc, this is an indispensable aide to debugging and troubleshooting. It's a must for coders and system admins alike.
