HP WDB Debugger

The HP WDB 1.1 debugger is an HP-supported implementation of the GDB debugger. It supports source-level debugging of object files written in HP C, HP aC++, Fortran 90, and Fortran77 on HP-UX Release 10.20 and later.

The major changes between HP WDB 1.0 and HP WDB 1.1 include:

HP WDB 1.1 is based on GDB version 4.17.
An optional HP WDB GUI, which is a graphical interface designed by Hewlett-Packard for the WDB 1.1 debugger. For details about WDB GUI, refer to the HP World Wide Web site, http://www.hp.com/go/wdb/.
Support for user threads on HP-UX 10.20 and 11.0.

The most recent version of HP WDB is available from the World Wide Web at the URL: http://www.hp.com/go/wdb/.

HP WDB 1.1 is available for any PA-RISC 1.1 or PA-RISC 2.0 HP 9000 system running HP-UX Release 10.20 or 11.0.

HP WDB 1.1 does not support the debugging of optimized code (that is, code compiled with both -g and -O options), though some commands may be available. See Section 4.1 of Debugging with GDB for information on what to expect if you debug optimized code.




	NOTE: HP WDB 1.1 is not supported on releases of the HP-UX operating system prior to 10.20.
