One can run LWW under the microsoft debugger. Can this be done with LWL and gdb? I need to debug something that's going wrong in an FFI, possibly on the C side. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

As soon as I attach gdb to LW it locks up. In my case I was trying to debug a C library written to work around the in-ablitiy to call "lisp callbacks" from a non-LW thread. Debugging a threaded app with print statements isn't much fun. In the end I wrote a C client to debug the C code... I'd love to be able to use gdb to debug the C code linked in by LW. -greg _______________________________________________________ Greg Wuller greg@wuller.com _______________________________________________________

Maybe something changed? Andreas
