Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 14:54:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 2001-q2/msg00138.html Resently I went arround checking out graphical debuggers for linux, sadly non of them quite met my needs... which are pretty simple. I want to debug MY program... Thats the one thing with open source program, (I have a scratch built linux system) when you come to debug a program, it wanders off though system libraries when steping etc, libraries for many people these are not of interest. ddd did quite well, it allowed me to not load simbols from share libraries, however when debugging a poll problem get some problems with it hanging and not returnign control to my main program. Insight worked better (probably cos it is linked with gdb unlike others which layer on top of gdb so has more underlying data). However when it when into poll, not supprisingly it could not find the source for the library.... but still wants to step though sub functions and had some problems returning to my code. In the code listing it just has a blank space, it would be nicer if it atleast show some indication of what it was doing in the window. Printing local variables, I wish there was a mode which would print all the local variables out in a heriarchy, rather than just the ones just at current stack frame level. Its sad to say, but I still think The Visual C++ debugger is better, which is kind of annoying to admin to my windows peers who keep trying to convert me :-( James
