And if someone who understands these things well is interested, I'd love to see acid be able to stand in for gdb on OS X as well as Linux and BSD. On the x86 machines, the main stumbling block is that I don't know how to implement process controls like breakpoints and single-stepping: stack dumps and memory access works already. On the PowerPC, I don't even know how to do stack dumps right. Even without process control, I use acid far more than I use gdb on x86 Linux and BSD. Russ
