882.0. "GNU Compilers" by ZPOVC::COLINTONG () Thu Mar 13 1997 04:49

    Hi,
    
    I know I will not get an offical answer. But can anyone share their
    experience with me.
    
    Can LaDebug support GNU C and C++ compilers.
    
    Any reply will be apprecated

That depends entirely on what type of symbol table information they
put out.  Since gdb can debug our C code, I wouldn't be surprised if
gcc and g++ (that's the right one, isn't it?) produce output on the
Alpha that our debuggers can handle.  I've even got a vague notion
this is true, but I don't have hard data for you.

882.2Maybe yes for C, no for C++CXXC::MJHANSMatthew Hanselman, DEC C/C++Thu Mar 13 1997 11:128
    Completely unofficial -- In short, probably yes for C, no for C++.
    
    I've successfully debugged GNU C code with ladebug, but had ladebug get 
    hopelessly confused with GNU C++.  It may be possible to have ladebug get 
    hopelessly confused with GNU C as well, but I haven't gone out of my to
    find out one way or the other.
