Description John Baldwin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-07-20 21:52:27 UTC 
I've been working on a port of the Solaris mdb debugger to FreeBSD.  It only supports examining FreeBSD/amd64 kernels, not user processes and not other platforms.  However, it can still be useful as a complement to existing tools like kgdb since mdb offers different functionality.

Log:
  Add a port for the Solaris Modular Debugger (mdb).

  Currently it only supports debugging of FreeBSD/amd64 kernels via kernel
  crashes (vmcores) or live systems via /dev/mem.  It does not include a
  port of the in-kernel kmdb debugger.
