An open-source book teaching debugging methodologies and practical recipes for simple and complicated software problems. It covers Unix tools, compiled program debugging with gdb, Python debugging, and PyTorch-specific debugging.
Use cases
- learn how to debug segfaults in compiled programs
- find the source of a hard-to-reproduce bug
- debug memory issues in PyTorch training
- learn gdb and ldd workflows
- speed up debugging of Python programs
- understand strace and Unix debugging tools
When to choose
- you want a structured methodology for finding root causes of bugs
- you debug C/C++ programs on Linux with gdb
- you work with PyTorch and need to debug GPU/CPU memory or performance issues
- you prefer copy-paste recipes over theory
When to avoid
- you need a debugging tool rather than learning material
- you need complete coverage - the book is a work in progress with unfinished chapters
- you debug primarily on Windows or in non-Python/C ecosystems
