The developer's guide to debugging: 2nd edition - ulrich holtmann

The Developers Guide to Debugging is a book for both professional software developers seeking to broaden their skills and students that want to learn the tricks of the trade from the ground up.

With small examples and exercises it is well suited to accompany a CS course or lecture.

At the same time it can be used as a reference guide to address problems as the need arises.

This book goes beyond the level of simple source code debugging scenarios.

In addition, it covers the most frequent real-world problems from the areas of program linking, memory access, parallel processing and performance analysis.

The picture is completed by chapters covering static checkers and techniques to write code that leans well towards debugging.

While the focus lies on C and C++, the workhorses of the software industry, one can apply many techniques described in The Developers Guide to Debugging to programs written in other languages.
