decladebug/udp
Digital Debugger
Description
Decladebug is a source code debugger targetted at debugging software
on the local machine or a remote Digital Unix box. Communication between
the Decladebug client and Decladebug server requires a protocol - that
protocol is processor independent. A complex debugger runs on the
client and a simple debug server runs on the server side.
Protocol
The protocol is a request/response protocol - the client sends requests
which are answered, the server never offers unsolicited messages.
Typical requests include set breakpoint, read memory range, and set registers.
Notes
The advantage of Decladebug over other remote debug protocols is that it
supports 64 bit debugging. The reason for using a remote debug protocol
is to separate the systems issues from the software issues.
Implementations
There is one implementation, available from Dec. Documentation is comes
with the Digital Unix distribution(formerly known as OSF/1).
