I glanced at DDD. The most recent DDD is DDD 3.3.1, released 2001-05-02. It has a "-fullname" option which it passes down to gdb. ddd/GDBAgent.c has code to discard any annotation-2 output coming from gdb: # ddd/GDBAgent.c case '\032': // In annotation level 2, GDB sends out `annotation' // sequences like `\n\032\032prompt\n'. Future DDD // versions might want to look at these annotations; right // now, we simply weed them out. There's similar code for the annotation-2 prompt. I didn't see any code in DDD 3.3.1 to turn on annotation, it just wants to ignore any annotation-2 that the user turns on. The CVS version of ddd/GDBAgent.c (from sourceforge) still has this code. http://www.gnu.org/software/ddd has links to several other front ends, including: gvd, insight, kdbg, xxgdb, tgdb, xwpe. Let me know if it would be useful to chase all these projects down and report on them. Michael C
