Months ago we gave a few FBSD developers private access to the source, but never received any feedback. Now we're asking more people to please test and tell us what you think. Source git clone git://git.pathscale.com/path64/debugger.git Note : We have a small patch which makes it build with gcc-4.3+ that should be pushed soon. License (GPLv3, *BUT* if we get a lot of positive feedback from the BSD community we can change this any time - see below) Benefits * Very well designed * Robust and well tested * Similar interface as GDB * Commercially supported * Recently revived roadmap (We're evaluating things like gpu support, reverse debugging, latest dwarf standards, tight integration with compiler for optimized debugging.. etc) Promise - Give us a hand in testing and improving and we'll relicense to a more permissive license. Questions/comments - Say hi on #pathscale - irc.freenode.net or email me directly Thanks Christopher
