Hello,

Does someone know if a FreeBSD kernel debugger exists, that is able to
display the source code ? As far as I know, FreeBSD's standard kernel
debugger can only display assembler code.

You can use "gdb -k" to do this, though you don't really get the same degree
of control. You could probably also use the remote gdb stuff - though I've
never used it.

Using gdb and poking around in the kernel sources on another machine while
using ddb can work quite well too.

David.
