Default GUI-based debugger for MS platform? - 15-11-2005

I'm asking if there is a free GUI-based debugger for MS platform which works with gcc-compiled code as I'm going to use this at school. gdb is usable, but it's sometimes just not as convinent as KDevelop/KDbg or Anjuta IDE. And I also can't get Insight compiled.

Thanks

msvc 2005 express edition is completely free, and you could optionally set up the build system to use gcc I believe. Doesn't get much better than msvc in terms of programming IDEs

Completely free ? No, for 1 year only it is. Watch out

*edit* Erf, I'm wrong. Nevermind

Most of the headlines at first glance imply that it disables itself after a year or that it is time limited in some other way, when in fact the 1 year is only the amount of time the free download is available.

Anyways, I've been using 2005 for quite a while now. Started with beta 2 and I'm very happy with the improvements. They've made debugging iterators and STL containers not so cryptic as they were before, basically as simple as array elements now. The IDE has alot of nice improvements too. I'm pretty impressed they are willing to give away such an excellent tool. I guess they think the more developers they have using their tools, the more likely said developers will develop stuff for windows. Even minus the free option, $50 would have been more than reasonable.

I shall give this thing a go someday. I once tried VS 2003 but I strongly disliked some things in the interface, and that made me switch back to VS 97 (VC6). What can I expect to change compared to VS 2003, if you know it ?

2005 is much like 2003, so if you didn't like 2003 you may not like 2005. There is plenty to gain from dropping vc6 tho, as vc6 was probably the worse vc version to date in terms of the absolute lack of standards compliance and such. Depending on what you're doing that might not matter to you so much.

Here's a sort of 'whats new' link if your interested. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...d5635e797.aspx

well msvc isn't really gratis for me as I don't even have a valid win2k or xp license, and it isn't free software and I also can't download/install quite a big stuff each time when I want to do something. Maybe it's better to stick with gdb anyway

You can use Bloodshed Dev-C++. It's a free IDE for Windows that uses GCC.
