Himebaugh) writes: Does the GNU C compiler have a full screen debugger available? If so, is it anything like codeview? To my knowledge, gdb is not full screen in the same sense CodeView is. However, GNU Emacs may to run gdb as a subprocess (the M-x gdb command), using a two window setup, one for gdb commands, the other for looking at the source files and setting breakpoints. Whenever the execution stops, the source window is automatically repositionned in the correct file, with an arrow pointing on the current stop position. Even if some might argue on this, to a certain extent, I consider this is full screen debugging. -- Franc,ois Pinard ``Vivement GNU!'' pinard@iro.umontreal.ca (514) 588-4656 cp 886 L'Epiphanie (Qc) J0K 1J0 ...!uunet!iros1!pinard
