Win32 VC++ DebugBreak in Linxu

Applications Programming

Hi,

Is there is any debugging solution in Linux similar to Win32's VC++ DebugBreak() call.

Put this in your linux code and see if it helps.

 asm ("int $3") ;
3

what it does?

I am searching for the solution that will help me debug deamons, such that when a function, say UDebugBreak() is called, gdb spawns in a terminal decided by me or else, and it automatically attaches to the calling daemon's thread at the point of call.
