1. gdb -- The GNU Debugger

gdb attach [pid] -- debug a running process

2. valgrind -- a suite of tools for debugging and profiling programs

Very powerful tool to debug linux program, just for x86 platform

3. strace - trace system calls and signals

In the simplest case strace runs the specified command until it exits. It intercepts and records the system calls which are called by a process and the signals which are received by a process. The name of each system call, its arguments and its return value are printed on standard error or to the file specified with the -o option.

4. pstack - print a stack trace of a running process

It's often used to check the stack of hung process.

5. mtrace, muntrace - malloc debugging

The function mtrace() installs handlers for malloc(), realloc() and free(). The function muntrace() disables these handlers.
The environment variable MALLOC_TRACE defines a file where mtrace() writes its output. This file must be writable to the user or mtrace() will do nothing. If the file is not empty it will be truncated.

Usage: call the two function before and after the code you want to pay attention on.

6. dmesg - print or control the kernel ring buffer

Check the error message of all kind of program, especail for third-party program.

* ld - the GNU linker.

* as - the GNU assembler.

* addr2line - Converts addresses into filenames and line numbers.

* ar - A utility for creating, modifying and extracting from archives.

* c+filt - Filter to demangle encoded C+ symbols.

* gprof - Displays profiling information.

* nlmconv - Converts object code into an NLM.

* nm - Lists symbols from object files.
