Are there any "real" C debuggers out there? All I seem to hear about are those oriented towards assembly language programming and are rather limited in dealing with C--such as global symbols only and no source tracking. I'm considering purchasing the Manx C compiler and wonder if the extra $60 (discounted) for the developers version is worthwhile. What about the lattice compiler? (it may make me reconsider my purchase decision). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gregg Whitcomb USENET: ucbvax!ic!whitcomb ARPA: whitcomb@ic.berkeley.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The latest version of the compiler is 3.4a. The debugger is not expected for at least three months. If you buy the year of updates and if the debugger appears within a year, then you will get the debugger also. The person I spoke to seemed to indicate that if I bought the compiler today, I would most likely get the debugger (i.e. it will be released within a year), but did not want to make any promises. I've become addicted to dbx and dbxtool on the Sun I use at work, and I can't wait for it to show up on the Amiga. Jack Orenstein This is not a disclaimer.

Is anybody working on a port of the Gnu debugger, gdb? It is a *fabulous* source-level debugger; I use it on our VAX (4.2BSD). --- Dan Barrett ins_adjb@jhunix.UUCP barrett@hopkins-eecs-bravo.arpa
