[gvd-users] My first session on a supercomputer

[Arnaud Charlet]

> But why then did I receive the suggestion to do "gvd --debugger=dbx"??

Because this is a list where any people can participate, and people can
make both right and wrong answers/suggestions. This particular answer was
simply wrong.

Also note that GVD does not support the Fortran language either.

Like all public lists, you cannot expect to get free support and free
development without getting involved.

If you really need your configuration to work, you may consider either of
the following alternatives:

- try to use gdb in C mode
- try to use gdb, and add support for Fortran in GVD
- add support for dbx (and optionally fortran) in GVD
- hope that someone else will do the work for you
- if you have $$$, ask for a company (e.g. sales@act-europe.fr) to develop
  either of the above non trivial solutions for you

Note that GVD's code is very well written and documented, so the fact that
it is written in Ada only adds to the clarity of the code. It does not really
matter if you know Ada or not, at least for understanding the code and
doing some copy/paste.
