  21    <p>Once you think you have found an error in your program, you might want to
  22 find out for certain whether correcting the apparent error would lead to
  23 correct results in the rest of the run.  You can find the answer by
  24 experiment, using the GDB features for altering execution of the
  25 program.
  26
  27    <p>For example, you can store new values into variables or memory
  28 locations, give your program a signal, restart it at a different
  29 address, or even return prematurely from a function.
