    This is probably a too basic a question to put on the net, but can
you point me in the direction of papers/books that explain how
debuggers work. What does cc -g do to the code it generates such
that a debugger know where to find the source code? Thanks in advance,

[Actually, although there is considerable experience and folklore on
debuggers, I don't know of any good references. Does anyone else? -John]
