F.11.2.1 Debugging the DLL Directly

Launch the debugger on the DLL.
```
          $ gdb -nw test.dll
     
```
Set a breakpoint on a DLL subroutine.
```
          (gdb) break ada_dll
     
```

Specify the executable file to GDB.

          (gdb) exec-file main.exe

Run the program.
```
          (gdb) run
     
```
This will run the program until it reaches the breakpoint that has been set. From that point you can use the standard way to debug a program as described in (see Running and Debugging Ada Programs).

It is also possible to debug the DLL by attaching to a running process.
