Why do nearly all Macinthosh development systems lack a symbolic debugger?
As far as I now only MacMETH (Modula 2) comes with a symbolic
debugger.
Am I wrong?
Are there other (preferably C) development systems on the market which
include symbolic debuggers?
What about real soon now?
Are there C development systems in development which will include symbolic
debuggers?
Are there symbolic debuggers in development for existing C development
systems?
If answeres on all these questions is negative then why don't they exist?
Thanks in advance for any answers.

One is the stand MacsBug debugger from Apple, the other, db, is a very nice symbolic debugger that works for their compiler only (as far as I can tell). Its a charming bit of software my only complaint is the type face is made very very small (so you can get a maximum of information on the screen at once) to the point of eyestrain. On the good side, it has saved enormous amounts of work and has made it far easier to find out what code is causing a bomb, down to the line. Steve Hawley joevax!sdh
