I'm using Lightspeed C, and I'm happy with all of it except the
debugging.  Macsbug is just too low-level.  In particular, I really
wish I had symbols for variables (globals at least!) and some level of
coordination with the source.  Are there any debuggers out there,
compatible with LSC, that provide this?  Or that in other ways improve
upon Macsbug?  What do people recommend, and where can I get it?

Incidentally, I just converted to version 2.0 of Lightspeed C, and now
Macsbug (the Maxbug version) doesn't see any symbols at all!  I
carefully made sure that the "Macsbug symbols" option was checked, and
recompiled everything.  No help.  Does anyone recognize the problem, or
know a solution?
