There is now a 3.35-beta13 version of UPS available:
http://www.concerto.demon.co.uk/UPS/src/ups-3.35-beta13.tar.gz
Unless serious problems are reported, I hope to make this into the
official 3.35 version. Changes between 3.35beta10 and 3.35 beta13:
o Changes from Russ Browne <russ_at_amc.com>
- implement raise/lower on "exec to here".
- fix to the symbol table problem reported by James Armstrong.
o Changes from Rod Armstrong <rod_at_san-jose.tt.slb.com>
- fix for static globals with Centerline and Purify on Solaris.
- fix for crash on "attach" reported by Robert Wan
- fix for scroll delay code
- revived the code for debugging dynamically loaded libraries.
This was commented out in 3.35 beta6 because it caused a step
in C++ code to be very slow. The hit should happen now only
when the dynamic linker does a load, open or close of a
dynamic library, or when the user rescans the init file.
Ricardo Telichevesky <ricardo_at_teli.org> reports this works
on Linux Red Hat 6.2 as well as Solaris.
- related to the above, rescanning the init file now works again.
- for a display window search, optimized the coloring by turning
it on and off only when necessary. This reduced the setup time
for a search from minutes, for a display window of thousands of
lines, to millisecs.
- fixed a bug that caused most steps to behave like nexts in Sun
shared libraries, especially for C++ code.
- For Solaris 2.6 and 2.7, the following signals have been added:
SIGCANCEL, SIGLOST (2.7 only) and the 8 realtime signals. This
should help in thread debugging.
o Changes from Ian Edwards <ian_at_concerto,demon.co.uk>
- fixes for lower/iconify on run
- application defaults file may be in /usr/X11R6/lib/...
- stuff to allow a FreeBSD package/port of ups to be built
o Changes from Panagiotis Tsirigotis <pgttso_at_best.com>
- fix for UPS crash when using a g++ that generates vtable thunks
for virtual function dispatch.
o Changes from Peter Collinson <pc_at_hillside.co.uk>
- control speed of scrolling of text in windows with Ups.ScrollDelay
UPS has a write-up in print : Peter Collinson has included UPS in an
article on UNIX debuggers in the UK software development magazine '.EXE',
