When some folks from Los Alamos visited us (they have an FPS T-200) earlier this year, they mentioned that they had a minimal symbolic debugger for Occam up and running. > A.

Our cross-compiler environment is based on the C compiler/assembler/linker from Penguin (soon to be Pentasoft) Software tools. Mail to: dwight@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu should eventually make it to him. Our OS gives full dynamic message passing capability, inter- and intra- node. > B.

Although we don't use it much anymore, "tsim", our transputer instruction-set simulator was used primarily for single step debugging. Its a real handy tool when working with bizarre hardware. There is also a low-priority project starting to get underway in another segment of the Theory Center to build a simple source level debugger -- breakpoints, stack trace back, etc. and would work under Trillium. I honestly haven't heard much more about it, though... >sid@linus.b.mitre.org Andy Pfiffer -- Andy Pfiffer andy@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu Cornell Theory Center / Cornell U. cornell!batcomputer!andy Home of the first usable T-Series (607) 255-8686 "...that's the way a Transputer works, right?"
