We at Oklahoma State University are implementing a number of
our undergraduate classes using the C language. By embarking upon
this course of action, the usual complaints about the inadequacy
of compiler and run time messages are threatening to swamp us.
We understand that there are a number of products that may be able
to help us. These include compilers with better diagnostics than
the basic C compiler as well as debuggers that are better for
novice use than adb or sdb. Unfortunately, our information on
specifics is lacking: i.e. supplier names, addresses, price,etc.
Any information on any such products especially from anyone with
experience with them would be greatly appreciated. Presently we
are running C under UNIX(v. 7) on a PE 3230 and under EUNICE on a
VAX 11/780.
Presently, we are attempting to set up on-line instruction for
the debugging tools we do possess. Word from anyone with knowledge of
of or experience in similar undertakings would be especially welcome.
