your friends:

gdb> run

(oooh a crash!)

gdb> bt

gdb> frame 1
(switches to stack frame #1)

gdb> print mylocalvar

(shows you some pointer to an object, to say an example)

gdb> print mylocalvar->something()

I don't know how to set breakpoints.. yet :P

There is a nice GDB tutorial provided with Dev-C++ (:roll:), made by Richard Stallman himself ^^

Hmm about debugging in C::B...
Is it possible to debug and watch variables as we can do with VC++? I mean, without having to add manually the variable name in the "Watch" tab...

You can place the editor caret over the variable's name you want to watch and [right-click->Watch 'your var'].
Or you can provide more info on what you 'd like to do...
