How can I debug the program using GDB?

[yichuan66]

I tried to debug the program using GDB and VS Code, but since the code uses escape sequences on Terminal for display, it can interfere with GDB output. For example, when a program calls write(1, "\x1b[6n" , 4) GDB will just hang there and not continue. How can I debug in this case? Thanks!

1. You should compile the 'kilo.c' file with -g option if you are using gcc compiler.
2. Type command gdb kilo
3. (gdb)set args <filename>
4. (gdb)run
5. Kill process which named 'kilo' by your task manager or by typing command in your terminal.
6. Now you can do things like print E to see the data in it.
