Debuging C code....

[Doug Gwyn (VLD/VMB)]

csv??  Boy do you have an old PDP-11 compiler!

Modern C compilers, such as the current PCC, generate much more
useful symbol table information.  There are symbolic debuggers
that make use of this information to make debugging much more
pleasant than using "adb".  4.2BSD has a debugger called "dbx",
and UNIX System V has "sdb" (using a much richer symbol table).
The niftiest debugger I have seen so far is "joff" (aka "dmdebug");
it runs in a DMD (5620, BLIT) layer and lets one snoop around in
code running in any layer.  It even understands DMD graphic
primitives so it can illuminate the rectangle in question, and so
forth.  Too bad it doesn't let one debug code on the host too.
