All I wanted was something that I could use for debugging (with the
input as a core file) - but - at the same time, I would like to be able
to debug an executable as well (using something like a.out as an input
to the debugger). I know gdb exists but I remember (a long time ago)
that there was perhaps another tool that one could use - it had a
graphical user interface and was pretty good. It ran on a SUN system
(now I have Linux) but I just doesn't remember the name.
I had wanted something that could run with other OS's because I am now
developing with Linux but I may move to another OS - like AIX or SUN
and just did not want to start all over again looking for nice tools.
the predecessor to gdb was dbg IIRC.
And it sounds like you want to stay in the UNIX family of Operating
systems. Your first post didn't say that. So we had to wonder if that
included MS windows, VMS, or others.
Sorry, but I don't have any good suggestions for you. But I'm sure
there are some out there.
