If you are working on something unrelated to real-hardware then using
a virtual machine can help you, like not having frequent reboots
of your physical machine maybe you've only one development machine
then you can try and attach gdb to the virtual machine
from your host machine.

If however you've a real hardware then using a real machine would be better.
