Title: Recommended Debugger
Post by: jbruss on October 29, 2017, 02:59:45 PM

Hello -

I would like to be able to debug my feap code without writing print statements (e.g. using the DEBUg command). I have been able to get the command line version of gdb to work but it is somewhat cumbersome to step through the code this way so I was looking for an IDE to make this easier. Unfortunately I was unable to get Eclipse to work with FEAP (using Photran) and I was wondering if there is an IDE that any other users have successfully set up with FEAP for debugging?

Thank you,
Jonathan

We usually just use gdb in the terminal window, but there seem to be many GUIs that people have developed.  I did a quick google search for graphical interface to GDB and there were lots of hits.  Here is one discussion thread with a number of options: https://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/1392/decent-gui-for-gdb
