Not step by step, no... I wouldn't know what does, actually. However, /strace/ does at least give an overview of all operations a program does. > the actual program sounds like some kind of gnu database if you just > look at the name... > > Not saying what it is though, cos I'm not answering any of his > questions.... no matter how indirectly. Well, I am always willing to help, but indeed, I am not willing to do someone's homework for them. How are they hoping to actually learn something if they're going to be so cheapskate as to ask for the answers on Usenet? ;-) -- *Aragorn* (registered GNU/Linux user #223157)

The best single stepping debugger I've ever seen was the one that came with IRIX from SGI. It could step through programs one line of C at a time, displaying the line in a separate window. There are very good developer tools out there. |
