imagine if it like, read that file and gave you a stack trace

gdb gives you waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than a stack trace.

...unless you build the executable with optimizations that remove the stack frame. Good luck debugging that sucker!

I love gdb! I recently had to do a debug and wow its so cool! On gentoo I can compile everything with symbols and source and can do a complete stack trace.

Am I the only one in this thread who uses VSCode + GDB together? The inspection panes and ability to breakpoint and hover over variables to drill down in them is just great, seems like everyone should set up their own c_cpp_properties.json && tasks.json files and give it a try.
