How to execute

Prepare executable ELF files to be debugged

print string

gcc -no-pie test_print.c -o test_print

add

gcc -no-pie test_add.c -o test_add

# ./debugger <ELF executable> <symbol name>
./debugger test_print print_string

./debugger test_add add

At every breakpoint (i.e., given symbol name), the debugger displays the current register state. To proceed, press the Enter key.
