“This book provides an excellent contrast between each by showing how to perform the same function in each environment. The authors cover common debugging problems such as segmentation faults in addition to common debugging pitfalls to avoid so that this can be a useful learning tool for novice debuggers.”
—Electronic Design

“This book is a comprehensive introduction to, and a good book to have around while using, GDB and some of it’s popular front-ends.”
—Petrea Stefan, Freelance Programmer

“Most of the examples in The Art of Debugging with GDB, DDD, and Eclipse are in line with the theory and bring out the concepts clearly. There is the repeated comparison of usage of the three debugging tools for the same example so that the reader can draw their own conclusions and grow on their own favorite debugging tool.”
