digitalmars.D.announce - gdcmac: GDB for D

reply =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Anders_F_Bj=F6rklund?= <afb algonet.se> writes:
Added a patched GDB for D for Mac OS X 10.4 as well,
as a Universal Binary that'll work on PowerPC/Intel:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=135857&package_id=223105

Uses a slightly modified version of the GDB 6.3 patch,
and Apple's build (only replaces the libexec binaries)

PS. It will replace the original GDB with the D-patched,
but save a copy in case it needs to be reverted later...

I don't understand this one: will it save a copy, or do I need to save it?

Hmm, sometimes I just make things more muddy when trying to
clear them up - I meant it will replace *and* it will save. :-)

No rocket science, it just does a "cp" of those two files in
the preinstall script of the GDB-D package. I modified the
package to also save them on upgrade now, like if you upgrade
Xcode from 2.4 to 2.4.1 or so - tacked the date on the copies.

But it's more of a "just in case", as far as I know the GDB
debugger still works OK for C with the patch for D included.
