Does anyone know of any C++ compilers and source level debuggers supported under Unix System V Release 4. I have used SVR3 C++ compilers under SVR4 by using special techniques to link static object constructors/descructors, the tools provided with these compilers failed since they expect COFF format files while SVR4 uses ELF format files. I believe that these file format differences will also cause problems with many source level debuggers, this limits me to sdb -- a real pain for C++ debugging. Any notes on similar experiences or possiblilities would be appreciated. Please respond via e-mail, thanks. -- Please respond via E-mail, I will summarize to net when appropriate. Michael L.

Next time I have to dance around calling something a "kludge", I'll call it a "special technique"! There's a job for you in marketing! mjr.
