BDB is a symbolic debugger for programs compiled and linked with Bigloo
BDB allows to stop executions by the
means of breakpoints. It allows to step inside the source code, to
inspect global and local variables, to inspect the execution stack and
to evaluate Bigloo expression. Bigloo is designed to interleave Scheme
and C code. In consequence, debugging Bigloo programs requires the
ability to step into C code. BDB allows that because BDB knows how to
handle C code and C data structures. BDB is built on the top of GDB
In consequence, all GDB commands are available to BDB. <br/><br/>When a Bigloo program stops because of an error, BDB stops the execution
in the error handler and gives you the opportunity to inspect the data
structure of your program.<br/><br/></div></td>
