Guard - A Relative Debugger

Implementation

There are a number of different implementations of Guard

Name	Details	Operating system	Download
Classic Guard	Our earliest implementation of Relative Debugging is embodied in a version called "Classic Guard". This version has been implemented in most Unix machines, and is command line driven. It has a client server architecture, and uses GDB as the portable debug server implementation. Classic Guard supports both sequential and parallel relative debugging, and has novel features for describing the data decomposition in parallel codes. It supports a range of conventional programming languages, like C, C++, Fortran, etc, and also a data parallel research language called ZPL.	Solaris, Linux, AIX
VSGuard	VSGuard is an implementation of relative debugging for the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET ® environment. VSGuard leverages the .NET Framework, and the Visual Studio Integration Project. It supports all .NET Framework languages, and also legacy Microsoft languages like Visual Basic 6.0 ® and Visual C++ ®. VSGuard is produced and marketed by Guardsoft Pty Ltd.

ONeGuard	ONeGuard is a version of Guard that is integrated into the SUN Microsystems Sun One Studio environment.	Solaris, Linux
EclipseGuard	Eclipse Guard is a version of Guard integrated into the IBM Eclipse platform. EclipseGuard leverages the flexibility and extensibility of Eclipse. It current works with Java and C/C++, however, this will be extended as new language plug in's are produced.	Linux
GuardLite	GuardLite is a command line parallel debugger, without relative debugging. It supports the High Performance Debugger Forum (HPDF) command syntax and works on a range of parallel machines.	Linux	Download
Extended GDB	We have extended GDB to support the Guard Architecture Independent Form (AIF) and to allow data transport through binary sockets. This version of GDB also supports ZPL.	Linux	Download
