Hey everyone,

Could you guys give me a hint how to properly debug something on Windows
with GDB?

I usually don't use GDB to find out causes of crashing, i.e. I either infer
them from the code or find it out through logging facilities. One of the
reasons why I almost never use GDB on Windows is the following output:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

which actually conveys no information at all. My guess is that the crash
happens in some Windows system DLLs and therefore cannot be traced by GDB.
Could you elaborate on this?

This time the project is not mine and the code is absolutely foreign. As a
result, I am forced to use GDB, but what I posted above is what I get yet
again with GDB now. What can I do in this situation?

Kind regards,
Alexander
