Have you ever spent hours staring at your code, wondering why it refuses to run the way you expect? Or maybe you've fixed one bug, only to find that two more appeared somewhere else? If you're working with C, C++, or Fortran, you already know how small mistakes can cause huge problems-and how overwhelming it can feel when errors seem impossible to track down.

That's exactly why this book exists. Practical Debugging in C, C++ and Fortran with Seergdb was written to guide you through the process of understanding not just how your code fails, but why it fails, and what you can do to fix it with confidence.

Instead of presenting debugging as a cold, mechanical process, this book treats it as a practical skill that every programmer can master. Think of it as having an experienced mentor sitting right beside you, asking the same questions you ask yourself:

• Why is this variable giving me the wrong value?

• What happens when multiple threads are running at once?

• How can I be sure my program is managing memory correctly?

• Is there a way to step back in time and really see what went wrong?

By walking through real examples in C, C++, and Fortran, you'll see how to apply structured techniques to uncover hidden bugs. From understanding error categories and setting up effective breakpoints, to tracing memory leaks and handling multi-threaded challenges, each chapter is designed to build your skills step by step. And because Seergdb offers advanced features beyond traditional tools, you'll also discover how to use it for things like time-travel debugging, variable tracking, and analyzing performance in complex high-performance applications.

This isn't just a technical manual-it's a learning experience. The explanations are clear, the examples are practical, and the methods are proven. Whether you're a student writing your first major program, a researcher working with large-scale simulations, or a professional developer maintaining production code, you'll find techniques in this book that will save you time, reduce frustration, and make your debugging sessions far more productive.

So let me ask you: wouldn't it be better to feel in control of your debugging process instead of constantly reacting to cryptic errors? Imagine having a reliable approach you can use every time your program misbehaves-one that helps you understand the problem at its source instead of just patching symptoms.

If that sounds like the kind of clarity and confidence you want in your coding practice, then this book was written for you.
