[Book review] The Art of Debugging with GDB,DDD and Eclipse

> Efficient debugging can't be done without a debugger(but that sounds pretty obvious...still... there is evidence of people who doubt this or even disagree!). Of course, you can use printf and output variable values all you want, but that won't get you far and you'll still be a blind-foldedly searching a needle in a haystack.

I strongly disagree with this statement. I only use debuggers for extreme situations and find that a good understanding of the code, thinking about the problem and a few well placed prints is all that's necessary for most debugging.
