gdb equivalent for VC++ cl compiler?


I am in the process of porting my application from "MinGW/GCC/make" to "cl compiler/nmake" chain tool. I extensively used "gdb" for debugging in Linux/MinGW environments. What is the command-line tool for debugging applications compiled with "cl compiler" ?


Solution

  • That would be CDB(although I never used it).
    But you should take a look at windbg. The tool is bundled with the platform SDK and is IMHO the best debugger for the windows platform.
