Has anybody on the list tried the SunStudio support for Linux on x86 and its tools support for GCC in addition to Sun CC? I know the dbx debugger to be very good, in many areas it used to be far superior to MS VisualStudio's debugger. The GUI was not as nice as VisualStudio but far better than DDD. Now Sun provide compiler and tools for free if you join SDN (also free I think). GUI is now Net.Beans (free again) which looks very nice, I have not tried it.
I found this page: http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/documentation/ss12/mr/READMEs/dbx.html#l... It seems to be some limitations with dbx on Linux and with g++ compiled binaries. :-( The most serious limitation in my view is: * Run-time type information for C++ expressions is not available for programs compiled with the g++ compiler. -- Bjørn
