Goldbach's conjecture tested by a 47-state Turing machine

Author: Jared Showalter

If "a" and "i" were unbounded, this program would halt iff Goldbach's
conjecture is false.  Furthermore, the program structurally
corresponds to a Turing machine with two symbols, one tape, and a
small number of states.  The array "a" corresponds to the tape (each

RMS's gdb Debugger Tutorial

1. How do I use gdb?

When you compile your program, you must tell the compiler to produce a program that is compatible with the debugger. The debugger needs special information to run properly. To do this, you must compile your program with the debugger flag, -g. This step is critical. Without it, the debugger won't have the program symbol information. That means it won't know what your functions and variables are called, and it won't understand when you ask it about them.

How do I...?
