10 | Somebody asked us what was GDB. With apologies to Oscar Hemmerstein | |
11 | II, Richard Rodgers, and Julie Andrews, we offered the following reply: | |
12 | ||
13 | Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start, | |
14 | When you're learning to sing, its Do, Re, Mi; | |
15 | When you're learning to code, its G, D, B. | |
16 | (background) G, D, B. | |
17 | The first three letters just happen to be, G, D, B. | |
18 | (background) G, D, B. | |
19 | ||
20 | (Chorus) | |
21 | G!, GNU!, it's Stallman's hope, | |
22 | ||
23 | B, a break I set myself. | |
24 | ||
25 | D, debug that rotten code, | |
26 | ||
27 | Run, a far, far way to go. | |
28 | ||
29 | Print, to see what you have done, | |
30 | ||
31 | Set, a patch that follows print. | |
32 | ||
33 | Quit, and recompile your code - - - | |
34 | ||
35 | That will bring it back to G, | |
36 | D, | |
37 | B, | |
