Coding > Best IDE-debugger

#57099 - jun - Thu Oct 13, 2005 7:37 pm

Hi everone, just wanted to know your opinion on debuggers. I am using Visual Ham for GBA dev, but I am going to switch to just plain DevKitARM. What are/is the best visual debugger tool to use? Even better if built into the IDE. If possible, at par with the VC++ debugger :) or at least somthing that neatly wraps gdb, such as ddd.

Emacs perhaps? or is configuring the VC++ IDE for GBA dev the way to go?

I wonder about this too it would be much nicer to be able to develop in a visual environment.

I guess any c++ IDE could be setup for it?

I'm using Eclispe with the CDT (C/C++ Development Toolkit) Plugins. With it's gdb support I'm able to debug within the IDE by using VBA.

That is the most odd Miked0801 post I've ever seen. XD

Lol - sorry, I was emulating another post that someone else had made. Their I don't know answer just cracked me up. I decided to try it once in a similar situation to get a rise out of people. It failed :)

I almost exclusively use No$GBA for debugging and pull out the SN hardware for compatibility checks.
