!DDT on ArMini

[Mr John FO Evans]

I now have a patched version of !DDT which runs correctly on the ArMini. It
is functionally equivalent to !DDT on RISCOS 4/Select. It will not run under
RISCOS 6.

This patch was created by Colin Ferris.

If anyone is interested please contact me.

!DDT is part of the Acorn "C/C++" distribution. It is a desktop debugging
system described in some detail in The Acorn Booklet "Desktop Development
Environment", section 4 in my copy.

It was updated for the Iyonix, but not for RISCOS 6. This new patch makes
it suitable for the ArMini.

Summary of operation
--------------------

Recompile your "C" program adding the -g option and link with the -d option.

When the program runs you will get a source listing in a new window with a
pointer showing the current position. You can then single step through the
program or run to a named breakpoint. Variables can be displayed and/or
changed.

It looks complex but can be very simple and straightforward after a little
practice.
