Q: What books and articles would you recommend that provide strategies for
debugging?
A: The following sources ought to be helpful:
- How to Write Macintosh Software, by Scott Knaster (Addison-Wesley). This
book describes how to find all the bugs you wrote when you used memory
manipulation in C.
- Debugging Macintosh Software with MacsBug, by Othmer & Straus
(Addison-Wesley). This book is a tutorial for MacsBug, although it doesn't
describe the latest version. Check the MacsBug 6.5.2 Release Notes for
additional details.
- MacsBug Reference and Debugging Guide, Apple Computer (Addison-Wesley).
Again, the book doesn't describe the latest version of MacsBug, so check the
MacsBug 6.5.2 Release Notes for additional details.
