RE: followup: can i use pgdbg (portlang group debugger)

[Ted Sariyski]

I wrote the same code with "use mymodule" and without using modules. In the
second case ddd works fine with pgf90. My impression is that as far as the
code doesn't use modules ddd/gdb is able to interpret the debug information
from pgf90.

Thank you two for valuable info, Ted and Jorge.

I looked into code and looks to me like ddd/GDBAgent.[Ch] is responsible
for interfacing with inferior debugger.  So if what Jorge is saying is the
all fudge I need to make, it doesn't sound too complicated task.

I don't like Xpgdbg so far.  it somehow doesn't even load my executable,
although pgdbg does.  I vaguely remember that totalview was somewhat
pricy.  I think it would be best if gdb works well with pgf{77|90|??}.  Do
ya'll have any info about this?

I will try tweaking code and write again if i fail/succeed, in a couple of
days.
