Hehhe reconfigure a debugger. Lolz. Poor linux people. Living it up like its still 1980.
:-) Well, gdb is not my favourite, but it works well on C code. I think this holds for all kinds of debuggers (including VS and XCode)… In all debuggers you have to configure which expressions to watch, how to format them if they are complex and where the breakpoints go.
Printf logging with conditionals, asserts and recursive test-functions can often be just as easy as a debugger, if not easier, when working on complex algorithms/messy state machines/deep data structures/data with custom indirection (using ints, rather than pointers).
