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 dowload 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/gvd New features in GVD 1.2.4: - General stabilization and improvements in error/warning messages. - Better handling of VxWorks targets. - Friendler handling of Yes/No type of dialogs. - New menu: File->Add Symbols, particularly useful under VxWorks. - GVD shows the main source file in the explorer when it opens. - The fields in the "New Debugger" dialog are now filled with parameters from the command line. - A message dialog now pops up when trying to detach a process while the underlying debugger is busy. - The columns size and visibility for the stack window are now memorized from one session to another. - Explorer displays return type for functions. - In addition to GVD_ROOT, the path where gvd is launched is used to retrieve dynamically the prefix. The manual can thus be found more easily on Windows systems.
