- Hi. Last week I asked about C++ debuggers. I got messages about 4 of them:
-
- 1. ObjectCenter from CenterLine Contact nowell@centerline.com
- 2. Oregon from TauMetric Corporation Contact sue@taumet.com
- 3. g++ and gbx from Gnu Download from your favourite Gnu place
- 4. CC and dbx from Sun Sun Microsystems
-
- Since (1) and (2) cost extra money, I tried g++/gbx first. It was
- slightly incompatible with our established base of software, so I
- didn't want to use it unless compelled for it would require changing
- all our code slightly. Finally, someone told us that the CC and dbx
- from Sun *does* demangle the C++ in debugging. I was really puzzled
- about this, since I had assumed that since we were running Sparcs, we
- would already be using the Sun-supplied C++ and dbx. Well, apparently
- not, for after asking around our system support staff, I obtained a CD
- ROM from one of them with that and when we installed it, voila! it did
- indeed demangle C++ dbx.
-
- Thanks, everyone who helped.
