CLI based debugging in gdb is painful. Whether logging or using a
debugger is faster really depends IMO. I think regular
tracing/logging is easier when you debug recursive stuff like
parser or regexp engines, but a debugger is easier when you have
NULL dereferencing issues, when you are getting wrong values in
complex calculations or when loops don't terminate when they are
supposed to.
