I'm interested in having our Unix machines at work join the 20th century with software debuggers, by allowing them to debug within seperate windows. Currently, my MS-DOS box has a better interface for the debugger than our DECstations xdbx (the new version) is silly. gdb + emacs is alright, but a little bulky What I really want is something that will use X fully. Let me click on a variable in the source code, and have an inspector pull up in its own little window on the screen. Click on a variable, and add it to the watch list. Add and remove breakpoints, etc etc.. The source code for gdb includes a <nonsupported> thing called xgdb. If I remember correctly, its for R3. However, there is a note that says "don't worry about hacking xgdb - someone is already doing it." Who is this someone? Is there any idea how it is going? Thanks...
