What are the runtime debuggers available in AIX? for the C language? I know we have dbx - Crap


gdb - Good but doesnt work.

Any other?

A: 

Are you asking about AIX's native C compiler? If so consult your IBM saleman. You can of course run GCC on AIX, and use the gdb debugger. This has a number of front-ends for it, the best of which is probably DDD.

if i ask IBM sales..they will sell me crap like dbx..Do u really want crap or u want something working..?Just becoz IBM makes these tool doesn't mean they work..
Sorry, I have a pathological dislike of people who think it is "kewel" not to spell properly. I won't be answering any more of your questions here.

For xlC there is dbx and the GUI frontend xdbx.

A: 

IBM Debugger - /usr/idebug/idebug

GNU Debugger should also work - /opt/freeware/bin/gdb

Totalview. Best debugger for AIX by a country mile. Interface is old hat motif but functionally very good. Great at threads by the way.
