Hi!
Here's stuff from FAQ:
---
Can I use the gdb debugger to debug programs built by VC++?
-----------------------------------------------------------

   No, not for full (high level source language) debugging.  The
Microsoft compilers generate a different type of debugging symbol
information, which gdb does not understand.

   However, the low-level (assembly-type) symbols generated by
Microsoft compilers are coff, which gdb DOES understand.  Therefore you
should at least be able to see all of your global symbols; you just
won't have any information about data types, line numbers, local
variables etc.
---

I have found an option "generate COFF debugging info"
in MSVC 5.0.
Will I be able to debug with gdb if I turn it on?
I tries to, and couldn't, but maybe I did something wrong ....
