New online App to compile and debug C/C++ program (onlinegdb.com)

Hello Reader,

I started this blog to share my thoughts about recently launched apps and games all around world.
This will give you an idea about how app or game would be useful to you.
But do not consider this as professional review, as I might be right or wrong. So consider this as just personal opinion/review.

To start with, let me introduce you to recently launched online IDE called onlinegdb.com


  • What is onlinegdb.com?
    • onlinegdb.com is online compiler and debugger for running and debugging c/c++ programs online itself.
    • It has simple and easy to use UI interface to start with. 

  • How to use onlinegdb.com?
    • Just loging to website onlinegdb.com
    • Its homepage is having editor window to write code, and in top bar run/debug toolbar.
    • If you want to run program, just click on "Run" button after you finish with your code. It will execute program on server and will display results (stdout and stderr both)
    • In case you code has compiler error it will display compiler error as well
    • If you want to debug program, click on "Debug" button instead of Run. It will open gdb console window on bottom of screen. And by default it will have your program loaded inside gdb. 
    • Then you can place breakpoints on different functions/line as per your requirement.
    • And you can debug your program using normal gdb commands.

  • Who should use onlinegdb.com?
    • I would recommend onlinegdb.com for those users who like to code online and want to debug code from anywhere without doing any pre-setup.
    • If you like to participate in online competition like hackerrank, codechef, spoj, codeforces or similar sites, then this can be useful to debug your code when you face problems.
