Madness. When I started using gdb in C it was lifesaver to find any runtime errors in my code. Coming from what is the shit of C compilation and runtime errors it saved what would effectively be hours of inserting printf statements to find the error.

It depends how well a language specifies where the runtime error is occuring. I just get "segmentation fault (core dumped)" as my runtime error which could mean any for loop or iterattive sequence in my program.
