i dont know about dbx, but i find adb to be a good debugger. the problem
with source debuggers for c is that they do not find bugs in the compiler
very well. i use adb to patch the kernel. i have an adb script+makefile
which i use to fix up problems in the kernel.
i think man adb gives an instruction manual.

gwoho liu.
