Trying to find a debugger to use with VCTK

(1/3) > >>

Anonymous:
Im running codeblocks as a solution for an IDE that I can use mobily from a flashdrive.  Take it to work and code, take it home and code, take it to a familymembers house and code.  I'm really please with the simplicity of getting codeblocks to do that much.  I'm not very sure about a debugger though.  What sort of debugger can I use with the VC Toolkit that I can just as easily run from the same flashdrive?

rickg22:
Um currently Codeblocks can only use GDB.  Why not try? :)

Something is in the works ;)
Stay tuned.

MinGW always produces smaller exe files, than VCTK. I think that GCC is better than VCTK, but you can try to do a comparison.
I have VCTK installed, and at the beginnig I used it, but after trying MinGW, I don't use it anymore.
I'm very pleased with MinGW, it can do much more optimizations that VCTK can do. And the debugger is also working very well.

MinGW? I'm coding VST plugins and I've had big problems trying to compile the neccesary SDK's with MinGW. I have no problem beleiving that it's a better compiler - I'm sure it is, but those of us depending on SDK's developed for microsoft compilers are kind of stuck with the toolkit. Please correct me if I'm wrong - I'd love to be wrong on this one :-)

So mandrav: what's cooking? Are you developing a debugger that integrates with VC Toolkit? Please tell us more...

In the meantime I recommend WinDbg a free debugger from Microsoft. It has all the features except: no syntax highlighting in the source viewer... and it's annoying to leave the IDE for debugging, but... it works.
