Dbxtool: A window‐based symbolic debugger for sun workstations
Evan Adams, Steven S. Muchnick · Software Practice and Experience · 1986
Abstract Dbxtool is a window‐ and mouse‐based debugger for C, Pascal and FORTRAN programs running on Sun workstations. Its use of the mouse as the primary input mechanism eliminates the need to type variables, line numbers, breakpoints and most commands. Its multiple windows provide several qualitatively different perspectives on the debugging problem. Compared to the Unix 4.2 BSD dbx from which it is derived, it has been extended with the abilities to debug multiple‐process programs, already‐running processes, and the Sun Operating System kernel.
