On this I was of course totally wrong:

Unix has symbolic debugging equal to DOS/Windows. I was under the false impression that it only had C code interpretation.

This is an error -- what I said was true for C++, but then in Windows we too are forced to primarily use interpretation to debug C++. C++ symbolic debuggers are not up to acceptable capabilities in either system.

Sorry.

It just gets worse and worse. James, the debugging environment I've been referring to, and the product I've been debugging is written in C++. Let me be perfectly clear, here: The product is an embedded processor. I'm running a development environment on a Sun workstation. The code running on the processor is written in C++. The debugger is a symbolic debugger, and it can do breakpoints on lines of code, displays of expressions involving symbolic names, and all of the other points about debuggers that I recall you making. The code uses all C++ features quite heavily. There is no C or C++ interpretation involved. The environment is freely available.
