==Follow-on Questions== | |||
* Does g++ support each of these sanitizers? | |||
*What other tools should I research besides gdb, lldb, valgrind, UBSAN, ASAN, TSAN, and MSAN? | |||
*Are there tools other than sanitizers and debuggers I should know about? | |||
*Are there obsolete tools I should ignore? | |||
*Are there books that cover C++ topics beyond writing C++? How about how-to guides? (I'll be searching for these next, but do you happen to know any particularly useful and easy to read? | |||
*In his reply, [[/www.reddit.com/user/Ujjawal-Gupta/|Ujjawal-Gupta]] mentions crash dumps and crash dump tools. I don't know much about them. What good resources on this topic are there for Linux, Windows, and Mac? | |||
=## Background:= | |||
I'm about to start going through the list above for myself. It may take a while. | |||
I'm currently involved in a project with about half a million existing lines of C++ code and want to know what tools I need to work in this environment properly. The application has multi-threaded parts. | |||
I can do basic g++, Debug, DebWithRelInfo, and Release builds using cmake or a pre-defined build script and step through code line-by-line with the gdb in VSCode, but want to become familiar with gdb at the command line. | |||
I want to come up to speed with clang and lldb in vscode. | |||

I need to familiarize myself with other tools available, learn how to enable particular tools in a build, and learn how to use the tool's output. | |||
I want to learn to use tools like UBSAN, ASAN, TSAN, and MSAN effectively and how to switch from g++ to clang when appropriate. I want to learn what tools other than the sanitizers and debuggers above are available. | |||
