Certainly its the best approach to debug if you want to keep yourself out
side the program code during 'runtime'.
I guessed you're using gcc. It got a '-g' option to enable debugging. What
man page says about '-g':
-g Produce debugging information in the operating sys-
tem's native format (stabs, COFF, XCOFF, or DWARF).
GDB can work with this debugging information.
Yes, you need gdb to taste the real debug experience. In gdb you're inside
the code and a part of 'runtime' environment. You will be able to set
breakpoints, watch, trach or catch a variable etc. I guess, by nature of
your wark, you're looking for something like gdb. 'man gdb' is your friend,
you know.
