The ups debugger (unofficial repository)

This is an ancient debugger for C, C++ and Fortran. The original project page
is http://ups.sourceforge.net/.

It has only seen marginal changes in the last 10 years, but still kind of
works.

This repository is a git conversion of the original CVS repository hosted
at SourceForge. It additionally contains minor modifications and ugly
hacks to make ups work with modern code in more cases.

Usage

It uses your system’s libelf, libdwarf and libiberty, so make sure you
have these libraries and also their header files installed. ups is then
compiled with autotools

sudo apt-get install libelf-dev libdwarf-dev libiberty-dev
./configure --enable-dwarf --enable-elf --enable-longlong
make

Make sure you compile your programs without optimizations, with
debugging information in “dwarf” format enabled and not as a position
independent executable:

gcc -gdwarf -no-pie -o test test.c
ups/ups ./test
