<h2 class="chapter">14 Debugging Programs That Use Overlays</h2>
<p><a name="index-overlays-949"></a>
If your program is too large to fit completely in your target system's
memory, you can sometimes use <dfn>overlays</dfn> to work around this
problem. <span class="sc">gdb</span> provides some support for debugging programs that
use overlays.
