    How to debug the exec process in gdb?

    Hi, Im using gdb for debugging my application..
    I was able to debug child process(when fork comes) .. and in child process we have an exec call...
    So the problem is, when the control come to exec , the exec process is executing at a time...
    I could not debug the exec. process...
    So, is there any way to debug the exec process

      Hi Bibek4u,
      I am not sure but You can try the strace command.

      $starce ./outputfile
      likewise your source file is tmp.cpp and output file is tmp on current directory.
      $strace ./tmp

      The output of strace command will help you.
      Cheers
