We are pleased to announce the availability of GVD, the GNU Visual Debugger, a general purpose graphical debugger front-end licensed under the GNU General Public License. Besides providing all the features of other debugger GUIs, GVD includes advanced data display and visualization capabilities. Furthermore, GVD allows the debugging of multi-process/multi-threaded applications in the same debugging session. GVD works with native as well as cross debuggers and can handle several languages in the same debugging session and the same application. Currently C and Ada are supported. Other languages will follow. GVD can run on a host different from the machine where the debugger is running and provides friendly support for cross-debuggers (VxWorks, Lynx, etc.). For instance, you can use Linux or Windows to debug an application running on a Power PC board with a debugger running on a Sun workstation. To build GVD we are using the GtkAda GUI technology. GVD comes with all the GtkAda benefits such as a pluggable look-and-feel, a set of very high-level widgets and the ability to have the same look-and-feel on all of your platforms. You can dowload GVD and get more information at http://libre.act-europe.fr If you are interested in participating in the GVD development, do not hesitate to contact us (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Arnaud Charlet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---- Key points about the GNU Visual Debugger: o Handling of different debuggers. This includes native and cross debuggers (VxWorks, LynxOS, ...). o Handling of remote launching of debuggers and remote access to source files. o Support for different languages . The GUI can handle several languages during the same debugging session. . The source editor provides advanced display features such as syntax highlighting and source browsing (types, subprograms, ...). o Easy access to the most frequent operations through contextual menus. o Graphical data visualization o Multi-process . Handling of several debuggers (possibly different and on different hosts) at the same time. . Graphical display of the processes list. . Process switching . Simultaneous display of multiple processes o Multi-task (Ada specific). Similar capabilities as for processes. o Multi-thread. Similar capabilities as for tasks. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
