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 New features in GVD 1.1.0: - Complete documentation now available. - Under Windows, non ASCII characters are now displayed instead of being truncated. - New command line option: --pargs to set program arguments on the command line. - New command line option: --dargs to specify additional debugger arguments. - Start up of big programs have been significantly improved. - Menu "Print" in the code editor contextual menu now prints the variable inside the command window instead of the canvas. - Support for preferences (menu Edit->Preferences), with many user-configurable options. See documentation for more details. - Scrolling of assembly window outside of displayed range is now possible - The Data window can now be separated from the main window (Edit->Preferences, Data/Separate Window). - The Memory View now handles editing in non-Hex mode, and the possibility of displaying ASCII and another format at the same time. - The different window settings are now remembered from one session to another. - New command line option --editor-window that gives a much better integration with external editors such as Glide/Emacs. - A graphical list of processes is now displayed when attaching to a process. - New item in data and source editor contextual menus: view memory at the address of a given variable. - New item in the source editor contextual menu: print dereferenced variable If you are interested in participating in the GVD development, do not hesitate to contact us (mailto:gvd-devel@lists.act-europe.fr) For the GVD team, Arnaud Charlet
