Im bug checking a c program and would like to install valgrind, the system then tells me that I should also install libc6 with debug symbols libc6-dbg.
Now my question is, when I in the future compile with gcc, which version of libc will be used?
How do I choose which libc6 I’m compiling against?
I’m not asking how to install this, I’m on ubuntu so apt-get install libc6-dbg will do the trick.
libc6-dbgis not a separate library fromlibc6— it’s the debugging symbols forlibc6, so that you can get accurate tracebacks within libc.
