They said they were going to have e-mail support and a bulletin board... John Ison said he wanted to be more of an advocate for developers than an evangelist for NeXT. He's apparently in charge of developer support. You can reach him at 415-424-0200.

I wonder what it will be like using Objective C - into - GCC and then trying to use GDB on that! From what I've heard, the C produced by Stepstone is a bit hard to follow. Glenn

But GDB has been modified to know a bit about Objective C; thus it knows method calls by their actual names and not by the names ObjC assigns them (ie, "drawSelf::" versus "_23_View"), and it also knows about instance variables and lets you access them without having to deal with any ObjC-generated C structures/unions. You also step through the ObjC code, not the generated C code. Ali Ozer, aozer@NeXT.com
