Can you tell me if there is some Soft-ICE > type debuggers under this OS ? SoftICE is actually overkill; ddd and gdb are probably best, unless you are talking protected mode code. If your code is running in the kernel, you will want to look at /sys/i386/conf/LINT, and look for the "DDB" and "BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER" options. That gives you access to a non-visual SoftICE-like debugger, which is capable of doing protected mode and user mode debugging. I occasionally miss SoftICE's visual change notification features. 8-(. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
