LOL, Of cource I am not developing a debugger  :lol:
I am just trying to integrate an existing debugger  :P

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 :-)

Unfortunatelly, I think you have absolutely right.
Yeah, it happened to me also in these days, that I got some VS libs, and from this reason I had to use the VC Toolkit. I don't know if it is possible to use MS VS libs with MinGW linker.
For example I made some WebCam capture program, and in the MinGW package the vfw.h file does not contain all the WinAPI function interface (capCreateCaptureWindow for ex.), so I had to move to VCToolkit.

If you find out something to migrate libs and object files between VS and MinGW, please post here, I'm also curious.

Is WinDbg that one, which is included in the Platform SDK?

--- Code: ---reimp -c <vc_lib_file> // Hope I remember it correctly ;)
--- End code ---

This generates a libXYZ.a file from XYZ.lib ;)

Nothing to integrate from windbg. It's an external app...
No, I 'm integrating cbp (from debugging tools) or ntsd (should be installed on all windows machines - win2000 and up). They 're compatible except some features about kernel debugging being present only in cbp...
Think of cbp/ntsd as gdb for VC.

I know, that devs don't like that kind of questions, but when we can expect to have that feature?

cheers,

The point is that the debugger plugin must be abstracted a bit more to accomodate for multiple debuggers (like the compiler plugin is).
I just have to find some spare time...
