that's where I like it. vc++ works, but it's functionality is limited in the debugging part of things. I do love it's intelisence though. I wasn't aware that it had issues with c++; I have only used it on my mud skeleton for debugging. My bias comment was more of a joke though, most sited people I know would rather use m$'s debugger.

Yes there is some bias. gdb is fine if you are only writing C. gdb and C++, however, have had problems in the past, particularly with templates. A quick Google search shows that the template problems are still not resolved: http://tdistler.com/2008/11/13/debugging-c-templates-brekpoints-and-gdb VC++'s C++ debugging capabilities is still way ahead of gdb, especially in the template department. That said, I won't deny that gdb is still pretty good and, in terms of C, they are basically on equal footing. There is also a lot of support for gdb on this list. gdb is also probably easier to use for those who are blind or visually impaired due to the command-line orientation of the application and probably the fairly natural fit with JAWS. I can imagine the VC++ debugger being quite difficult to use in that case and see the appeal of gdb over VC++ as a result. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
