-
- <p>Once you think you have found an error in your program, you might want to
- find out for certain whether correcting the apparent error would lead to
- correct results in the rest of the run. You can find the answer by
- experiment, using the <small>GDB</small> features for altering execution of the
- program.
- </p>
- <p>For example, you can store new values into variables or memory
- locations, give your program a signal, restart it at a different
- address, or even return prematurely from a function.
