[ANNOUNCE] Release 1.0.2 of the GNU Visual Debugger

[Arnaud Charlet <charlet ACT-Europe FR>]

(Note for this forum: GVD is somewhat "conflicting" with the Gnome Debug
framework that is being worked on, but the GVD authors are very willing
to share their experience and combine if possible the two separate projects).

We are pleased to announce the availability of GVD, the GNU Visual Debugger,
a general purpose graphical debugger front-end licensed under the GNU
General Public License.

Besides providing all the features of other debugger GUIs, GVD includes
advanced data display and visualization capabilities. Furthermore, GVD allows
the debugging of multi-process/multi-threaded applications in the same
debugging session. GVD works with native as well as cross debuggers and can
handle several languages in the same debugging session and the same application.Currently C and Ada are supported. Other languages will follow.

GVD can run on a host different from the machine where the debugger is
running and provides friendly support for cross-debuggers (VxWorks, Lynx,
etc.). For instance, you can use Linux or Windows to debug an application
running on a Power PC board with a debugger running on a Sun workstation.

To build GVD we are using the GtkAda GUI technology. GVD comes with all the
GtkAda benefits such as a pluggable look-and-feel, a set of very high-level
widgets and the ability to have the same look-and-feel on all of your
platforms.

You can dowload GVD and get more information at

New features in GVD 1.0.2:
- Added support for C++ in gdb.
- Assembly window is now much more efficient.
- New menu File->Open Source... to open a source file without the explorer
- Interrupt button implemented under NT
- First version of the documentation (still a work in progress)
- First version of the libgvd that can be used from C and any other language
- Several bug fixes
