gdb - GNU Debugger
dbx - UNIX Debugger
gdb
dbx
gdb and dbx provide an editor interface to the GNU and native system debuggers, respectively. On running either command then an interactive shell window is opened to the debugger command line interface. MicroEmacs '99 then interprets the information from the debugger interface and opens files and hilights the current line as required. The current line is maintained while single stepping though the code.
Buffers opened and referenced by the debugger have the key F9 bound to setting a break point.
gdb and dbx are macros defined in file hkipipe.emf.
No macro command interface has been provided to enable a remote process to be debugged. If this is required the changes to hkipipe.emf are minimal requiring that the macro prompts for the process identity and invokes the debugger with the appropriate process arguments.
