The Evolution of Dbx
نویسنده
چکیده
Dbx is the standard source-level debugger on most Unix1 workstations. Over the past six years Dbx has grown from a debugger for interpreted Pascal programs to a debugger for compiled C, C++, FORTRAN, Pascal, and Modula-2 programs. Dbx also has been retargetted to a variety of architectures, including VAX2, Motorola 680003, MIPS, IBM RT-PC4, IBM 370, Sun SPARC, and Intel 80386. This paper describes the evolution of Dbx and examines how the organization of Dbx has enhanced its portability and extensibility. The structure of Dbx is based on a set of abstractions that define what a debugger must do, not on a decomposition by language or machine. These abstractions provide greater flexibility in handling the unexpected problems associated with retargetting a program.

Local antibiotic delivery with OsteoSet, DBX, and Collagraft.
Biodegradable local antibiotic delivery systems have gained interest for prophylaxis and treatment of musculoskeletal infections. We studied the biodegradable materials Osteo- Set, DBX and Collagraft for local delivery of vancomycin and gentamicin in vitro. We determined the antimicrobial activity of vancomycin and gentamicin after mixing with each biodegradable material and determined the rele...
متن کاملRegionalized expression of the Dbx family homeo☐ genes in the embryonic CNS of the mouse
Here we report the identification of a novel homeobox gene family Dbx in mouse, which consists of Dbx and Dbx2. The two genes share similar structural organization and are encoded by different chromosomes. The predicted Dbx and Dbx2 proteins share 85% identity in their homeodomain amino acid sequences, but otherwise showed no significant similarity. Characterization of the expression of these t...
متن کاملdbx mediates neuronal specification and differentiation through cross-repressive, lineage-specific interactions with eve and hb9.
Individual neurons adopt and maintain defined morphological and physiological phenotypes as a result of the expression of specific combinations of transcription factors. In particular, homeodomain-containing transcription factors play key roles in determining neuronal subtype identity in flies and vertebrates. dbx belongs to the highly divergent H2.0 family of homeobox genes. In vertebrates, Db...
متن کاملDebugging MPI Grid Applications Using Net-dbx
Problem solving using grid computing environments has become very popular amongst research groups in computation-demanding fields. This is due to the ability of Grid technologies and middleware to enable large-scale resource sharing. Application-development in such environments is a challenging process, thus the need for grid enabled development tools is also one that has to be fulfilled. In ou...

This paper describes Net-dbx, a tool that utilizes Java and other WWW tools for the debugging of MPI programs from anywhere in the Internet. Net-dbx is a source level interactive debugger with the full power of gdb augmented with the debug functionality of LAM-MPI. The main eeort was on a low overhead but yet powerful graphical interface that would be supported by low bandwidth connections. The...
