I am currently doing some research on debugging systems for object oriented 
environments.  I have just finished looking at the Eiffel docs and what they
call a debugger.  I called ISE and asked, "Does Eiffel have a debugger?"
They said of course.  After my studies and $200 for the docs I would beg to
differ.  They have a class viewer that really doesn't do much.

I would like to hear someone's experience with view in Eiffel.  Do you
really use it?  Would you have liked something better?


The only information I have with objective c is on the next.  It uses
an enhanced version of gnu's gdb.  I like gdb but it isn't designed for
oo programing.  Have they done better since?

Which is better??

Any responses will be appreciated.

Thank you
