I understand your are very distisfied with sun's c++ compiler. I work
on a sparc. we use g++ and gdb from gnu (the free software
foundations). It was easy to build and works very nicely

It was easy to build and works very nicely I have two wishes for GNU C++. A shared library ld++ and a xgdb. Also does anybody know why gdb knows nothing about class members inside class functions? For instance I can't print "this" or any other data member. This is g++/libg++ 1.37.2 and gdb 3.5.

This is g++/libg++ 1.37.2 and gdb 3.5. There is xgdb. It is part of the contrib from prep.ai.mit.edu. Make sure you get the latest, and any patches (2.1 I think), previous versions had too many bugs to be useful.

You need the correct gdb version in your path for what you want to do. xgdb just spawns this as a sophisticated I/O window for it. I believe the latest reasonably good version is on expo.lcs.mit.edu under contrib/xgdb.2.1.tar.Z.
