Debugging CPP

Summarize in 30 paragraphs with URL links to sources including 1. GitHub repo, 2. Documentation, 3. Official web site, 4. Wikipedia. Be sure to include 8 code examples. List the 5 most popular debugging / troubleshooting libraries. Be sure to list the competition or alternatives. Put a section heading for each paragraph. You MUST put double square brackets around each computer buzzword or jargon or technical words. Answer in MediaWiki syntax.

Write a 40 paragraph article on Troubleshooting and Debugging CPP briefly covering these topics

Part 1. The basics of investigating a codebase 1 Revealing an app’s obscurities

• unexpected output
• Clarifying slowness
• Understanding app crashes

2 Understanding your app’s logic through debugging techniques

• Investigating code with a debugger
• stack trace
• conditional breakpoints
• Debugging apps remotely
• exception stack traces to identify what calls a method
• Measuring time spent to execute a given instruction
• Investigating issues in multithreaded architectures
• logging
• Persisting logs
• logging
• logging levels and using logging frameworks
• Problems caused by logging and how to avoid them

Part 2. Deep analysis of an app’s execution

• Identifying resource consumption problems using profiling techniques
• abnormal usage of resources
• Identifying slowness in an app’s execution
• Using a profiler
• Observing the CPU and memory usage
• Identifying memory leaks
• Detecting problems with database connections
• Understanding the app’s code design using call graphs
• Investigating locks in multithreaded architectures
• Monitoring threads for locks
• Analyzing thread locks
• Analyzing waiting threads
• Investigating deadlocks with thread dumps
• Finding memory-related issues in an app’s execution
• Using heap dumps to find memory leaks

Part 3. Finding problems in large systems

• Investigating communication between services
• Using HTTP server probes to observe HTTP requests
• HTTP client probes to observe HTTP requests the app sends
• low-level events on sockets
• integrated log monitoring
• deployment tools in investigations
• fault injection to mimic hard-to-replicate issues
• mirroring to facilitate testing and error detection
