	Hi everyone,
	
	I would like to tell you that I have posted (about 10 days ago) 
	on the news group comp.sources.x the source of an X front end for gdb.
	
	I called this program 'xxgdb' (not the same as gnu's xgdb).
	
	xxgdb is a port of 'xdbx' from dbx to gdb. If you like xdbx,
	you will like xxgdb !. It has the same nice features,
	be sure to try 'print' and 'print*' with the right button !
	(SEE DISPLAYING C DATA STRUCTURES in XDBX_README !).
	
	xxgdb has been tested on a SUN Sparcstation running SUN-OS 4.1
	
	xxgdb has been posted in 8 parts of about 50K each.

		v11i042: xxgdb - X front end for gdb, Part01/08
		v11i043: xxgdb - X front end for gdb, Part02/08
		v11i044: xxgdb - X front end for gdb, Part03/08
		v11i051: xxgdb - X front end for gdb, Part04/08
		v11i052: xxgdb - X front end for gdb, Part05/08
		v11i053: xxgdb - X front end for gdb, Part06/08
		v11i054: xxgdb - X front end for gdb, Part07/08
		v11i055: xxgdb - X front end for gdb, Part08/08

	Note that you need the MIT X distribution tapes to compile 
	xxgdb (because of the Athena X toolkit libraries).
	
	Please do not ask me to e-mail you xxgdb. If you do not
	know how to get it, you probably could ask the moderator
	of comp.sources.x (argv@sun.com).
	
	Have fun
	PW

XXGDB version 1.0
-----------------

	>> SEE ALSO XDBX DOCUMENTATION <<
	
	XXGDB is a X window interface to the GDB debugger.
	
	GDB must be accessible in the current path.
	
	This X window interface has been adapted to GDB from the source
	distribution files of XDBX version 2.1 (patch level 2) which
	implements an X window interface to the DBX debugger.
	
	See the XDBX_README file for more information on XDBX.
	
	XXGDB has been tested on SUN 4 running OS 4.1
		
	- The name of the debugger called by xxgdb is by default 'gdb'.
	It can be overridden with the environment variable XXGDB_DEBUGGER.
	
	- XXGDB changes the GDB default 'set prettyprint' to ON. This is
	necessary to be able to display the pointed object when clicking
	a pointer value in a popup window (see also 'Displaying C Data
	Structures' in xdbx documentation). Except for this feature,
	xxgdb works with 'set prettyprint off'.
	
	- XXGDB changes the GDB default 'set screensize' to 0.

	- With the 'list' command, XXGDB will put the cursor at the last 
	listed line and will make sure that this last line is visible
	in the source window.
		
	To build xxgdb, 'Imakefile' defines :
	
#define TARGET_IS_GDB 1


XXGDB version BUG LIST
----------------------

This version of XXGDB is pretty much working. 
The following bugs will probably be fixed in future versions.

	- 'define' command of GDB is NOT supported by xxgdb.
	
	- 'source' command of XXGDB behaves slighlty differently from 
	the one in GDB. The specified file is read line by line by xxgdb
	and each line is sent to gdb. Thus gdb will ask confirmation of
	some commands. 
	This is also the case for the execution of the '.gdbinit' file.
	
	- Repeat command of XXGDB behaves slighlty differently from the one
	in GDB.
	
	- Clicking too rapidly on the buttons will sometimes hang gdb.
	It is WISE to wait for the completion of the previous command
	before sending any new command to gdb. Note that sending the
	SIGCONT (19) signal to gdb seems to fix this problem.
