GDB (GNU Debugger) vs. SonarLint

GDB (GNU Debugger) is very well suited in scenarios when the program has core dumped and a core file is generated. In such a case, the only tool that comes to my mind and can help diagnose such a core dump is GDB (GNU Debugger). GDB (GNU Debugger) is the best tool for debugging core dumps in *nix platforms. This will not be suitable for those who are very new to *nix platforms or who are earlier users of Windows platforms, as there is not any sort of GUI display or window here

• Setting precise breakpoints on lines in code
• Running the programs within GDB (GNU Debugger) in real time
• Watching the variables update their values in real time

• SonarLint highlights all the issues in our codes and also displays the severity of each issue.
• SonarLint also provides suggestions for how to fix those code issues which are highlighted.
• SonarLint starts the processing of the file as soon as it is opened and highlights all the issues which it found.
• When we fix the issue, we don't even need to create a new build or generate fresh code quality report, as soon as we save the file with the changes, it does the processing again and shows the result if the issue is fixed or not.
• SonarLint saves a lot of time and effort by saving us from doing fresh build every time and generating new code quality report every time, thus increasing the efficiency and output which is in return beneficial for the client.

• If possible, my ask would be for a multicolored text for different types of variables
• A small GUI display
• Possibility to make GDB (GNU Debugger) run programs that have few errors in them.

• Sometimes, SonarLint does not highlight the issues in the code correctly.
• The severity of the issues highlighted is according to the default rules set, we should also be given authority to set the severity of the issues.
• The default fixes which SonarLint provides should be more enhanced and there should be more fixes available.
• Sometimes it takes a lot of time for processing of the file when any new file is loaded or changes are saved in a file.

Jira is an alternative for GDB (GNU Debugger) in bug tracking department. When compared to GDB (GNU Debugger), Jira is more expensive to initially buy. Hence GDB (GNU Debugger) is well suited for all sizes of organizations, be it a small startup company or a large multinational company. Also if the memory footprints of both are compared, GDB (GNU Debugger) has a much smaller footprint when compared to those of its competitors.
