GoVest! is a Win32 debugger and
dissassembler. It is capable of using source code
information in COFF, PDB and VOM format. GoVest! supports
stepping, breakpoints, log points, memory (data)
breakpoints and allows you to watch the debuggee's call
stack, registers, memory, threads, modules and more.
GoVest! can be installed as a system debugger, allowing
for a just-in-time debugging, whenever an exception is
trapped by the operating system. GoVest! runs on Windows
9x, Windows NT and Windows 2000. DISCLAIMER: GoVest! is provided as is. Use at your own risk. GoVest! is freeware, you may distribute it as long as all the files in the zip are in their original form and as long as you don't use it commercially. Some people asked me about the name. Here the story: Once upon a time there was a small software developing team in Germany. These fine people had the vision of creating a CLIPPER compatible, native code compiler for OS2. The project had to survive a change of the targeted operating system, a change of the company's ownership, the integration of a third-party GUI library, ... and eventually was troubled with a too high bug count. Facing this situation, the developers decided to try a new and revolutionary approach in system level debugging: the Debug Vest. Wearing the Debug Vest, the developer can better focus on the problem at hand, and usually find and fixes the bug way faster than using traditional debugging techniques. The team experienced an overall 45% increase of productivity. Or, as Ralf Saborowski (Sabo) puts it: "Without the Debug Vest, Visual Objects 1.0 would probably never have left the beta phase stage." |
