Re: [LI] Ever tried DDD?

[Raj Mathur <raju@xxxxxxx>]

Thank God I put on my flame-protection first!

I've debugged a complete RDBMS (4 man-years) which I designed, coded
and project-managed in an earlier avatar with printf.  Not that I'm so 
hot a coder *simper*.

And of course, (not that Linus is too hot a coder either :), Linus
debugs the whole kernel with printk's and has said so on record.  Last
time I checked the kernel source was slightly more than 10MB ;-)

Don't knock printf's until you've tried them!
