I once thought I could do better than gdb....

So I dug down into the bowels to see why it's so lame......

Oh my.

The hideous complexity imposed by (multiple) CPU designs, OS interfaces, the vast mismatch between the code as written and the code as compiled. The complexity of the DWARF standard....

Sigh! Sorry gdb dev's... I'm sorry I ever thought bad of you guys...

You guys are doing way better than I'd ever do.
