GVD Developers,

Your Guys did a great job in releasing this tool. Thank you for sharing your
knowledge with others.

I tried to learn your work by downloading the source codes. The download itself
had no problem. However, Winzip had trouble to read it. Could you make sure that
the problem is not at your end? Thanks.

Anh Vo

We are pleased to announce the availability of GVD, the GNU Visual Debugger,
a general purpose graphical debugger front-end licensed under the GNU
General Public License.

Besides providing all the features of other debugger GUIs, GVD includes
advanced data display and visualization capabilities. Furthermore, GVD allows
the debugging of multi-process/multi-threaded applications in the same
debugging session. GVD works with native as well as cross debuggers and can
handle several languages in the same debugging session and the same application.
Currently C and Ada are supported. Other languages will follow.

GVD can run on a host different from the machine where the debugger is
running and provides friendly support for cross-debuggers (VxWorks, Lynx,
etc.). For instance, you can use Linux or Windows to debug an application
running on a Power PC board with a debugger running on a Sun workstation.

To build GVD we are using the GtkAda GUI technology. GVD comes with all the
GtkAda benefits such as a pluggable look-and-feel, a set of very high-level 
widgets and the ability to have the same look-and-feel on all of your
platforms.

You can dowload GVD and get more information at

Key points about the GNU Visual Debugger:

  o Handling of different debuggers.
    This includes native and cross debuggers (VxWorks, LynxOS, ...).
  o Handling of remote launching of debuggers and remote access to source files.
  o Support for different languages
    . The GUI can handle several languages during the same debugging session.
    . The source editor provides advanced display features such as syntax
      highlighting and source browsing (types, subprograms, ...).
  o Easy access to the most frequent operations through contextual menus.
  o Graphical data visualization
  o Multi-process
    . Handling of several debuggers (possibly different and on different hosts)
      at the same time.
    . Graphical display of the processes list.
    . Process switching 
    . Simultaneous display of multiple processes
  o Multi-task (Ada specific). Similar capabilities as for processes.
  o Multi-thread. Similar capabilities as for tasks.
