Do I need a specific debugger for 32/64 bit?
« on: September 09, 2025, 07:10:41 am »
Do I need a specific debugger when I want to debug into 32 or 64 bit applications?
I realise a 32 bit debugger cannot handle 64 bit, but it is also true the other way round, can 64 bit safely debug 32 bit? or do I need a 32 bit GDB?

GDB64 since +/- v11 treats both 32 and 64 bit code.
