Your Questions

What exactly is an inferior debugger?
Is there any way to put the -g option in a Makefile and compile it using that?
I was wondering if there are any development environments where we can just chill in there.
I'm confused by this whole "a" business in the sample session section.

Lab

Do the lab.
Be prepared to share your feelings about the key debugger capabilities.
