Perhaps an explanation might be appropriate. Neither as a college lecturer nor as a contract programmer (safety related code), did I ever use a debugger. The reason is that I never worked in an environment where (to my knowledge) a debugger was available. Hence, having no experience of debugging other than reference to the program specification, inspection of the source code and temporary modification of the source code, I cannot make any comment concerning the relevance or otherwise of other debugging tools and methods. -- "Why," said Ford squatting down beside him and shivering, "are you lying face down in the dust?"
