I am a long time user of ups (debugger), but all the excitement of late
seems to be over tgdb.
What meaningful features or shortcomings does tgdb have over ups?
I'll start:
(We can assume that a cited positive for one product is an implied
negative for the other and vica-versa.)
tgdb:
positive:
can attach/detach to running processes
is very familiar to people familiar with gdb
negative:
seems to require at least 1024x768 display
(I tried with 640x480 and small icons)
rather slow
crashes at times
ups:
positive:
is very familiar to people familiar with ups
negative:
supported almost exclusively by its author
Thanks for your help,
Brian Litzinger
