Yup, using Insight (the cygwin GUI for gdb), which

modem to the GDB stub in ntoskrnl. I'm using a

since the official one insists that when doing a stack
backtrace the frame
pointer should increase for each stack frame (which is
correct generally but
breaks when you're backtracing from the kernelmode stack back into the
usermode stack). Also the official version has a problem with hardware
watchpoints.
I use the Win32 port which comes as an add-on package with DevCpp.
However I've recently switched my pen drive compiler from DevCpp to
Code::Blocks
I'm finding the Code::Blocks built in debugger (which also uses mingw gdb)
to be excellent and have started using that in place of Insight, as it
doesn't seem have any of the problems Insight has.
In fact, I'm so impressed with Code::Blocks as a whole, I think it makes
DevCpp obsolete and needs a backend writing for rbuild. It's certainly the
best mingw enabled development tool for ROS I've come across. ;)
