Let me say my voice. I tried to take a look at several GDB GUIs. Actually, Insight has one strong point, which no replacement offers. It very well supports cross-development and remote debugging. I would say it was created for this purpose. Yes, its GUI lacks some functions, like listing shared libraries, and it is a bit buggy, but it also has console window, which perfectly fulfills everything. This means i can combine the power of both GUI and command line - the code and registers are always at my eyes, but i can also do sophisticated things via command line. I would say that Insight definitely does not deserve being forgotten. And i don't like Eclipse because Java is slow and memory-hungry. Personally i use Insight on Cygwin for some debugging and core dump analysis and it works pretty well. Kind regards, Pavel Fedin Expert Engineer Samsung Electronics Research center Russia
