The Linux Programmer's Toolbox

Linux comes with an extraordinary collection of power tools for C and C++ developers. The Linux Programmer's Toolbox helps you leverage all that power and productivity–without mastering endless syntax options, tracking down hard-to-find documentation, or reading kernel source code. John Fusco systematically illuminates today's best open source tools, explaining which to choose, where to find them, how to use them, and why you'd want to. You'll start by walking through installing, patching, and managing software development tools on your Linux system. Next, you'll discover the right tools to solve real-world problems at every stage of your project, from coding to revision control, debugging to performance optimization. Fusco's concise, practical examples are designed for clarity–and easy modification to your needs.
