I assume the one you have access to and are most familiar with is the best for you? I use plain command-line gdb 6.3 (from the mingw site) myself, and although it mostly works as expected, it certainly has some irritating misfeatures: For instance it spews out a lot of what I assume are its own debugging messages. I haven't tried Cygwin's gdb in a while, but I assume it should work, too, presumably even the Insight graphical front-end. I have no experience of devcpp, nor do I want to as I don't need any IDE to replace my editor and auto*/makefiles. I know that devcpp tends to attract newbies, so presumbly it is "easy to use", but that doesn't say that professionals couldn't use it, too. If you develop GTK+ programs using Microsoft's tools, you of course should use their debugger(s), too. --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
