----------------------------------- Martin Sun Mar 20, 2005 9:48 am C++ debugger ----------------------------------- At work I was checking out NuMega, and I think it's an absolutely brilliant tool. Damn STL memory leaks... Unfortunately, it costs over $1000 US, and I can't..err...find it anywhere else. Does anyone know of any other good debuggers? I'm set for linux, but I've been doing some DirectX development lately in Windows. ----------------------------------- rizzix Sun Mar 20, 2005 9:58 am ----------------------------------- gdb? :lol: ----------------------------------- md Sun Mar 20, 2005 12:45 pm ----------------------------------- The build in debugger of msvc is great, although that would force you to use msvc on windows... ----------------------------------- wtd Sun Mar 20, 2005 1:08 pm ----------------------------------- How are you abusing the STL that you're getting memory leaks? This sounds like less a problem with the STL than your understanding of it. Post your problems and maybe I can help you understand them a bit better. People are the most valuable debuggers. ----------------------------------- Martin Sun Mar 20, 2005 10:41 pm ----------------------------------- The problem's with STL, not me. Using C though. It's because they use strdup a lot, and don't free up the memory afterwards. I thought it was kinda funny. I'll post some stuff tomorrow. ----------------------------------- wtd Mon Mar 21, 2005 2:14 am ----------------------------------- Using C though. When C++ is available? There's your problem. ----------------------------------- Martin Mon Mar 21, 2005 9:55 pm ----------------------------------- Not my problem. The government's problem. C is alright. It's fast. ----------------------------------- md Mon Mar 21, 2005 10:34 pm ----------------------------------- Despite all the fud; c and c++ are actually just as fast (with a few exceptions). so speed isn't a reason at all ----------------------------------- rizzix Mon Mar 21, 2005 11:50 pm ----------------------------------- actually for realtime apps (which i doubt martin is debugging) C's speed over c++ and other bulky langs (yea the bulky ones are harder to optimize) is quite significant. ----------------------------------- Martin Tue Mar 22, 2005 8:05 am ----------------------------------- No, not a real time app. I'm trying to get it there. No luck yet, it's an insane amount of data that I have to crunch. ----------------------------------- wtd Tue Mar 22, 2005 1:08 pm ----------------------------------- C is alright. It's fast. Except for the lack of sane (and safe) libraries for wild, eccentric things like strings.
