ok. i was wrong with rhdbg, but read this:.....


5. Debugging with RHIDE
***********************

For debugging your programs you need now no external debugger, because
RHIDE has one integrated. The integrated debugger is not code which I
have
written, but it is GDB 4.16, which is linked in RHIDE.

Because RHIDE uses a special method to communicate with GDB it is
currently
not possible to use all of the features, which GDB has. I have
implemented
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
HERE

at this time the most important functions, which are needed to debug
your
program. So it is not possible to give GDB the same commands as when
running GDB stand alone. That means, if you need any very special
feature
of GDB you must run GDB.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AND HERE


The integrated debugger is a real source level debugger like GDB. If you
step through your program you will see every time exactly where in the
sources you are. But to use the ability to debug your program needs,
that
you have compiled your source files with debugging information and these
symbols must not have been stripped from the executable.

----------------------

and that was my only question.
i did read it, and read it was a sort of gdb.
so don't get arrogant to me, what i don't read or not.

greetz,

Theo
