    Android Studio

    Android Studio

    Android Studio

    Android Studio provides the fastest tools for building apps on every type of Android device. Create complex layouts with ConstraintLayout by adding constraints from each view to other views and guidelines. Then preview your layout on any screen size by selecting one of various device configurations or by simply resizing the preview window. Find opportunities to reduce your Android app size by inspecting the contents of your app APK file, even if it wasn't built with Android Studio. Inspect the manifest file, resources, and DEX files. Compare two APKs to see how your app size changed between app versions. Install and run your apps faster than with a physical device and simulate different configurations and features, including ARCore, Google's platform for building augmented reality experiences. Write better code, work faster, and be more productive with an intelligent code editor that provides code completion for Kotlin, Java, and C/C++ languages.

    GDB

    GDB

    GDB

    GDB, the GNU Project debugger, allows you to see what is going on 'inside' another program while it executes - or what another program was doing at the moment it crashed. Start your program, specifying anything that might affect its behavior. Examine what has happened, when your program has stopped. Change things in your program, so you can experiment with correcting the effects of one bug and go on to learn about another. Those programs might be executing on the same machine as GDB (native), on another machine (remote), or on a simulator. GDB can run on most popular UNIX and Microsoft Windows variants, as well as on Mac OS X. Inferior objects now contain a read-only 'connection_num' attribute that gives the connection number as seen in 'info connections' and 'info inferiors'. New method gdb.Frame.level() which returns the stack level of the frame object.
