[gvd-users] A few questions about gvd

[David Brown]

First, I'm not sure whether I managed to join the mailing list or not -
mailman had said I was already subscribed, when in fact I was subscribed
about a year ago (when I last used gvd intensively), and then unsubscribed.
So could posters please reply to my email address as well as the list until
I'm sure I'm subscribed?

I use gvd along with a cross-gdb for debugging embedded 68k systems, hosted
on W2K.  It works well, but I have a few small niggles.  I posted on some of
these a long while ago, but never really got anywhere - I was therefore
wondering whether anyone else has come across them in the meantime.  I'm now
using version 1.2.5.

It seems that gvd slowly leaks memory on w2k.  If I remember rightly, the
gvd developers thought this was a gtk+ problem (freeciv used to have the
same problem, and it also uses gtk+).  Has anyone else noticed this?  Is it
fixed in newer versions of gtk (as far as I know, it is no longer a problem
in freeciv, although I haven't tried it for some time)?  Or will gvd be
moved over to gtk 2.0 at some point?

Is there any way to change the size of the tabs in the source view?  Deeply
indented C code runs out of the window at 8 spaces per tab.

The explorer window shows all my C files, along with C files for all the
library routines that are included in the project - is there anyway to avoid
them being shown?  Choosing "Delete Files Not Found" does not work - it
simply removes all the files.  In the "h files" sub-tree, all my headers and
all the library headers are shown, and they are each shown several times
(once for each time they are included in a C file somewhere).  Is there
someway to avoid this?  Do other people get the same effects?  Perhaps there
is something I could change in my linker options to avoid this?  (I'm using
a patched cross-compiler version of gcc-2.95.3).

Thanks.
