i started this last year, then got a little lazy - and now that the world didn't come to an end, decided to give it a second go - and this time, even tell people about this :0<br>

if anyone has comments, or has ideas or requests for article topics (assuming they are within my grasp) - feel free to share.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This is terrific!</div><div><br></div><div>Ideas/requests:</div>
<div>*Parallel debugging - debugging of programs compiled with MPI and/or openMP.</div><div>*Profiling - in particular caveats where you might think you are profiling, but you are actually making an impact on the measured program. </div>
<div>*Attaching to a program that is already running when it hangs, reading its strace, understanding the problem from the trace of syscalls.</div><div>*Figuring out the machine topology and how it is related to program performance (lstopo, who has which cache, is the machine NUMA or SMP, who shares which cache)</div>
<div>*Figuring out compilation errors in C++</div><div>*Figuring out building errors and debugging makefiles, in particular linkage errors with dynamic libraries, naming conventions (major/minor versions), how to specify a particular minor version, how to specify an LD path and make the program compile when there are alternatives for the same dynamic library.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I saw that there is a Windows-oriented course for debugging C applications. I think there should be a market for a Linux one. I know of several people who will want to attend such a course and pay for it.</div>
