Subject: GDB sing-along
|
|
|
|
|
|
Somebody asked us what was GDB. With apologies to Oscar Hemmerstein
|
|
II, Richard Rodgers, and Julie Andrews, we offered the following reply:
|
|
|
|
Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start,
|
|
When you're learning to sing, its Do, Re, Mi;
|
|
When you're learning to code, its G, D, B.
|
|
(background) G, D, B.
|
|
The first three letters just happen to be, G, D, B.
|
|
(background) G, D, B.
|
|
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
G!, GNU!, it's Stallman's hope,
|
|
|
|
B, a break I set myself.
|
|
|
|
D, debug that rotten code,
|
|
|
|
Run, a far, far way to go.
|
|
|
|
Print, to see what you have done,
|
|
|
|
Set, a patch that follows print.
|
|
|
|
Quit, and recompile your code - - -
|
|
|
|
That will bring it back to G,
|
|
D,
|
|
B,
