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 Ada, C and C++ are supported. 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 download GVD (sources and binaries for GNU/Linux x86, Solaris sparc and x86, Windows NT/2000, DEC Unix/Tru64, HP-UX, UnixWare, IRIX, AiX) and get more information at http://libre.act-europe.fr New features in GVD 1.2.0: - Under Windows, the special pathnames //cygdrive/x/ and //x/ are now recognized and converted into appropriate names. - The File->New Debugger dialog now provides the ability to replace the current debugger by default. - The "run" and "start" buttons now set automatically the name of the module under VxWorks. - The File->Attach Process menu now lists the tasks on the target when using Tornado VxWorks. - The --target option now allows multiple ':' characters so that you can specify machine:1234 as the machine (& port number). See the documentation for more details. - The file corresponding to the main procedure is now displayed when loading an Ada executable (rather than the procedure containing the elaboration calls). - The data window is now zoomable - The breakpoint editor has been enhanced, and can now set advanced properties like ignore_count, commands to execute when reaching the breakpoint, or conditions to activate the breakpoint - The handling of commands has been improved and is more reliable. Caching of commands has also been put in place giving better user feedback on slow machines. - New item in the source editor contextual menu: display dereferenced variable - New item in the source editor contextual menu: break on subprogram - The option "break on exceptions" has been implemented - It is possible to delete an exception by pressing the 'Delete' key in the Breakpoints Window. - The Tab key is now supported in the debugger window.
