Probably not free as in freedom; I haven't used them. > Apparently gdb didn't let you do anything until getting to main() which is > after the initial > process loads but some of the pages for the above tools suggest you can > examine loading. Using cygwin's gdb on a MinGW app, I can set this breakpoint b '__mingw_CRTStartup' on the function that invokes main(), and then examine variables before main() is invoked. For a Cygwin app, I guess you'd break on 'mainCRTStartup'. Does that breakpoint happen early enough to meet your needs? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
