Net.C++.masters: I have a silly little question for you this time: is AT&T cfront debuggable AT THE SOURCE LEVEL by any other means than "printf" type statements? I guess that my real question is: are there any debuggers that will accept the "C-assembly-code" that cfront spits out ??? For thos of you that do use cfront type solutions, how do you do single stepping, call tracing, breakpoints etc.??? Any help/pointers will be sincerely appreciated... Farooq

Try reading: Bruck, Dag M. (1990): "Debugging C++ programs with xdbx," The C++ Report, Volume 2, Number 5, May 1990. I know this a shameful advertisement, so you can read: Lenkov, Dmitry and Shankar Unni (1990): "C++ Symbolic Debugging," Proc. C++ at Work '90, September 26-28 1990. to learn what it should really be like (:-). And then there is g++, Oregon C++, Zortech, Borland, etc... Dag M.

There's a monthly product list which was just posted again recently. However, since our latest product isn't on it, (from my first glance), I'll mention it here: SCO C++ 3.0 is now out, and it is based on AT&T's 2.1 cfront, with dbXtra, our source-level C++ debugger which has both a Motif and a Curses (text) interface.

I am getting kind of tired of using gdb and having to type mangled names. So I was wondering where and at what price dbXtra was availiable and also it's compatablity with ultrix 3.2 and sunos 3.3. Could someone please answer these questions. -the first Dolphin Dolphins, Soon you'll be one of us and then you'll understand.

Computer Innovations offers a debugger called DEBUG 2000 that I've seen and used --- it looks pretty good. The version I saw works only under Interactive 386 System V. Maybe they have other versions. Their number is (201) 542-5920. Disclaimer: Just a bystander... -tk --- Tom Keffer Rogue Wave PO Box 2328; Corvallis, OR 97339 (503) 745-5908
