What sort of debugger can I use with the VC Toolkit that I can just as easily run from the same flashdrive?
So mandrav: what's cooking? Are you developing a debugger that integrates with VC Toolkit? Please tell us more...
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 :-)
If you find out something to migrate libs and object files between VS and MinGW, please post here, I'm also curious.
reimp -c <vc_lib_file> // Hope I remember it correctly ;)
Is WinDbg that one, which is included in the Platform SDK?
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.
When It's Ready (tm)
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...
