[Solved]: Can GDB debug itself?

ignougroup
Problem Detail: Can GDB be run on itself? How or why not? I see something about it http://www.math.utah.edu/docs/info/gdbint_3.html But GDB might not be written in a language that it can debug?

  1. Obtain the source code for gdb.
  2. Compile with the -g flag on.
  3. Run gdb gdb.
