I use it from time to time to debug the O'Caml compiler and the runtime. It's so much fun using both ocamldebug and gdb on the same process that I almost wish there were more bugs in O'Caml :-) It would be really hard to work without it. The O'Caml compiler is definitely not in the "when it typechecks, it works" category. > - Is there any sort of general opinion in the OCaml community about the > debugger? From the answers you've got so far, it seems clear that there is no consensus. -- Damien ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
