Debugger for Mac

[Vostok]

I have been using the Visual Studio Debugger on my PC and I really like it. NowI want to switch to a MAC and I would like to know how different the debugger for MAC OS X is from the Visual Studio. I mostly need tobe able to set break points, execute the program line by line, enter subroutines/functions,and monitor variabes/arrays. Visual Studio has a nice interface for that, is there an equivalent for MAC?Any information is greatly appreciated.

Also, what is the minimum allowable image size for MAC OS?

Thanks.

The Intel Debugger (IDB) for Mac OS X only provides a command-line interface and Xcode is only capable of debugging simple structured Fortran programs with no support of MODULEs. Therefore, GUI-based debugging of Fortran on Mac OS X is limited compared to the Visual Studio debug environment, however, there is an option for GUI-based debugging on Mac OS X that may suit your needs.

There is an option to use the GNU DataDisplayDebugger (DDD) with IDB on Mac OS X. The details on this are available in an earlier forum post here.

Im sorry, but I dont understand the question about the minimum allowable image size.

Thank you!

Alternatively, You can work with Parallels Desktop (Virtual Machine that runs Windows on a Mac) and Visual Studio to do the debugging under Windows but on your Mac. I do it this way.
