# gp2c-dbg(1)

The GP to C debugger driver

## NAME

GP2C-DBG - The GP to C debugger driver

## DESCRIPTION

gp2c-dbg *\[gp2c options\] \[file.gp\]*

Compile *file.gp* with **gp2c** and launch a debugger session of gp where the functions of *file.gp* are loaded. \[gp2c options\] are passed to **gp2c**.

gp2c-dbg *file.c*

Compile *file.c* and launch a debugger session of **gp** where the functions of *file.c* are loaded. The file *file.c* must have suitable *GP;install()* lines.

## USAGE

Since there is no debugger for the GP language, **gp2c-dbg** allows to debug GP scripts with the C debugger. To catch **PARI** errors, you can set a break point on the function "pari\_err".  Note that your functions will not be loaded until **gp** read the .run file.

## FILES

*file.gp.c* The C output of **gp2c**.

- *file.gp.so*

  The GP loadable module.

- *file.gp.run*

  The  commands to load the module. Once a module is compiled, you can load it inside a **gp** session by running this script.

## ENVIRONMENT

- *GP2C*

  Path to the gp2c compiler, default: /usr/bin/gp2c

- *GP\_DBG*

  Path to the gp calculator, default: /usr/bin/gp

- *GP2C\_DBG*

  Command to start the debugger, default: "gdb --args"
