What is not open source in it ()?



KDB is at present more capable. It has a lot of promise, but it does not
have the all the architectural
features necessary to replace either KDB or GDB at present.


While I never used or saw kdb, I'd be curious about what you immediately
saw missing...


1. No back trace
2. Doesn't run standalone fully embeded in the kernel
3. Not fully open source (since it's not embeded in the kernel)
4. IA64 doesn't really matter, since IA64 is basically dead anyway
5. No advanced recursive descent parser for conditional breakpoints



This is more or less completely inaccurate.




Which one -- more ? or less ?
