Re: [avr-gcc-list] Program flow problems when including stdlib.h

[James . Harris]

Hi Wallace,

As you say gdb does not have windows showing these details, however there
are a number of GUI front ends to gdb that do.

I have personally had success with Insight. This has windows for watches,
breakpoints, register, source code, disasembly etc...

In all, a very effective debugging tool.

Cheers,

James

Thanks, Eric. I see that the WinAVR avr-gcc is much newer than the
avr-gcc I had downloaded from avrfreaks.

I took a look at the gdb and AVaRICE docs. It sounds like they do not
offer some of the conveniences of AVR Studio, like windows for watch,
processor, code, etc. So I'd like to continue to use the AVR Studio for
debugging. Is this possible--or advisable? I tried running elfcoff on
WinAVR's .hex file but got an error...

Thanks,
Wallace
