Untitled comment

I changed the insight link to point to the redhat resource rather than to a disambiguity page which then points to redhat resource. Someone changed it back to ambiguous page which isn't helpful in my opinion. Daniel.Cardenas 18:46, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Insight reference should be a red link, since it's articleworthy. Stan 00:14, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Libbfd

Should libbfd be described in this article or in Binutils? Gronky 13:16, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It has it's own article: libbfd. Since GDB relies heavily on this, it should be explained in the article, but I don't think I know enough to do this myself. Gronky 13:24, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

syntax

With kgdb, kernel developers can debug a kernel much like they can application programs.

I think there is a syntax mistake in this sentence but english is not my mother thong so I don't know how to make it right.

Claimed fixed. Cyaugin 05:59, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Features section

I removed VAX from the lower list, because it already was in the top. --Ysangkok 16:25, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from GNU Debugger front-end

I'm proposing to merge since there isn't that many out there and it's repeating part of the Limitations section. --Witchinghour 12:56, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Opposed, at least until someone checks Special:Whatlinkshere/GNU_Debugger_front-end in detail and gives an analysis of how this merge affects the linked-from articles. Lentower 17:10, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, so everybody would be in the know, here's what happend. GNU Debugger front-end was Debugger front-end and it had a list of applications claiming to be debugger front-ends. I had the proposal to merge it with the Debugger article instead. I went thru that list and was removing spam and other crap. Finally what it came down to was a list of GNU Debugger/DBX front-ends. So I moved the page to it's new title. Removed the merge request from Debugger to GNU Debugger. And that's how we're here right now. I also removed insight from the list since it's more like a graphical fork of GDB rather than an seperate front end i.e. insight can't exist without the GDB source code. --Witchinghour 18:30, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
