New programmers would be using IDEs, press the green arrow "play" button and launch the app with the debugger enabled without them knowing, which would cause the editor to jump directly to where the issue is
- neutronicus 7y agoWhen I was in school there was some server we SSH'd into and compiled shit with GCC, and we were not told what gdb is
- jcelerier 7y agoI'm sorry but there are bad teachers / courses everywhere, that does not reflect on the technology (though C++ has it really bad for some reason). When I was in school learning how to debug was one of the first classes we had. If they were teaching you rust be sure that they wouldn't have told you about cargo either.
- nineteen999 7y agoThat is a reflection of your school, and not the language. I'm a self taught C/C++ programmer, learning and becoming comfortable with gdb was one of the first few things I taught myself after learning how to compile code into a binary back in the 1990's.
