Starting your Fortran program with gdb

Once you have compiled your Fortran program with the ``-g'' option (see `Compiling your Fortran program for debugging'), you can control and monitor its execution in detail by using the gdb debugger program.

To start execution of a program named foo under gdb:

1. Type gdb followed by the name of your program, for example:

           gdb foo

   You will get a command prompt that looks like this: (gdb)
2. Type these commands at the (gdb) prompt:

           break main
           run

   This will start execution of your program, but execution will pause just before the first executable statement.
