"Practical Debugging in C++ is the first debugging book written expressly for the beginning to intermediate level programmer. For the beginning programmer, it is a short, clear debugging guide that serves as a valuable companion to their introductory programming book when writing C++ programs. For the more advanced programmer, the guide provides a quick primer in C++ debugging with a series of examples of common syntax and semantic errors and how they can be detected and corrected. The authors cover both tracing and debugger techniques. Chapter topics include Common Syntax and Semantic Errors; Tracing Techniques for Debugging; Trace Debugging for More Advanced C++ Constructs; Using an Interactive Debugger. Appropriate as a supplementary book for C++ programming or using C++ as a programming language in departments of Computer Science, Engineering, CIS, MIS, IT, and Continuing Education.
