<div>If you don't like to work entirely in the command line, there are several GUI frontends for GDB. This should one should work on Windows: https://www.gdbgui.com/ There is also a GDB frontend for VisualStudio: http://wingdb.com/</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, it's possible to configure your IDE to run Pd in the debugger. E.g. in QtCreator I just had to add a custom executable to the "Run" step which points to the installed pd.exe/pd.dll.</div>
<div>If you want to debug Pd itself, then the Pd binaries must not have been stripped! Personally, I create the Pd package *once* with "make app" and then add a deploy step which simply copies the unstripped pd.dll into the /bin folder.</div>

<div>With MSys2 you already have GDB installed. Just do:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>> gdb --args pd [flags]</div>
<div>> run</div>
<div> </div>
<div>when you get a segfault, type "bt" to get a backtrace :-). If you want to use breakpoints and stuff, just read the GDB manual.</div>
