- Why not the DECset V11 debugger, dsdbx? It is a rather nice interface on top
- of dbx. Here is part of the man-page:
-
- dsdbx(1)
-
- Name
- dsdbx - Source level debugger with DECwindows Motif user interface
-
- Syntax
- dsdbx [-I directory] [-c file] [-i] [-r] [-pixie] [program [core]]
-
- Description
- The dsdbx command starts the DECset dbx debugger. After you start the
- debugger, you interact with its DECwindows interface by choosing items
- from menus, clicking on push buttons, and so on to perform various
- tasks. For example:
-
- . Display your program's source code, identifying where execution is
- currently paused
-
- . Browse through the source code to locate points of interest where you
- might test for certain conditions
-
- . Set breakpoint
-
- . Execute your program, including stepping one source line at a time and
- restarting from the beginning of the program
-
- . Display the current value of a program variable
-
- . Monitor changes in variables during program execution
-
- . Change the value of a variable and, in some cases, test the modifica-
- tion without having to edit the source code and recompiles to suspend program execution at such points
