A friend and I have decided to learn C++ and use it for a major compiler design project this semester. So far, we're very impressed with AT&T's implementation of the language, and like using it a lot. One big problem, though, is that CC is not a native compiler, but a preprocessor, and it redefines symbol names in very insane and unfriendly ways, making debugging quite a chore, at least with gdb, which is the debugger to which we have access. I know that I could install g++, and use that, but I don't know if I trust it to be nearly as correct and complete as CC 2.0. Failing that, is there a debugger out there that works well in concert with CC, so I can use my own variable names and the like? Or should I trust g++ enough to use it? -- Jim Elliott "Like a bridge he'll come between us, not a wall" elliott@veronica.cs.wisc.edu
