Hello Guys,

I need to debug some C++ code on HP-UX machine.

Could you suggest me an easy to use Debugger?

Not sure about easy (at least not at first), but gdb (in association with emacs) are extraordinarily powerful and almost certainly available for that platform. It's also free and easy to build (normally).

If there is no other debugger available, you could try sdb which is the unix standard and probably available on the platform. Steer clear of adb unless you like hunting through assembler and machine code.

I have also used something called xdb in the past but I am not sure who supplied it.

gdb and xdb work best through an X windows environment.

Hope this helps.
