Embed GDB breakpoints in C source code
A small hack for embedding GDB breakpoints in C source code.
Look at example.c, then run:
$ ./build.sh
$ ./gdb-with-breakpoints ./example
(gdb) run
gdb-with-breakpoints passes all its arguments to gdb. Additionally, the last argument must be a valid path to the program being debugged.
If the program contains no EMBED_BREAKPOINT statements, you will get an error like:
bfd_get_section_by_name: File in wrong format
Depends on: GNU toolchain, BFD, Linux /proc
On Debian or Ubuntu: apt-get install binutils-dev
