gdb debugger and runs on decstations. I heard there was a new osf version out there somewhere. Any information appreciated. Thanks, Gina Keywords:

there is a binary distribution of the g++ tools available on foobar.colorado.edu in the pub/Gnu-For-Pmax directory. It's a tar that needs to be installed in /usr/local/Gnu. It reflect by working binary distribution. The OSF made numerous changes to gcc to support debugging and clean things up for the decstation. I hacked changes into an old version (1.37.2) of g++. I attempted to do the same to more recent versions (e.g. 1.39), but found the base G++ to be unstable & not as usefull. Debugging via the gdb included is hit & miss. Due to the vageries of COFF (&ECOFF) debugging information, you can't put enough information into the .o files to help the debugger figure out things like class variables.
