IFORTRAN Debugger similarities

[ifortq]

Hi,

I ve tried the debugger for ifortran windows and wanted to get the ifortran dubugger for ubuntu. I was hoping that they are very similar and wanted to try the one month trial version for ifortran dubugger for ubuntu. But It seems they are pretty different from each other.

For example the if I want to look for a variable in couple of modules in the same program at once it seems it is not possible in the debugger in the new debugger. But it is possible in the windows ifortran debugger. has anyone experince this? Are the two debuggers are very different?

Please give your commets!

Thanks!

Yes, they are very different. On Windows we use the Microsoft Visual Studio debugger. On Linux we have the Intel Debugger (idb), which has a "visual" interface but is modeled more on gdb for its functionality.

I am not sure what you are trying to do - how do you "look for a variable in a couple of modules" on Windows? Once I see that I may be able to tell you how to do it on Linux.

Hi Steve,

Thank you for your comments.

What I am trying to do is to find a variable used in multiple modules at once.

In windows specially in compaq visual fortran a variable which is in multiple modules (files) can be found using the "find in files" command in the standard tool bar. Could you tell me whether it can be done in Linux?

Thank you!

Ah - that is not a debugger function, that is a function of the Visual Studio IDE. As we don't support an IDE on Linux, I don't have an answer for you there. You can use the "grep" command line utility to search your files. It may be that the Eclipse IDE with the Photran Fortran development tool provides such a feature. You can do a web search for Photran for more information.
