gdb_stl_utils for Mac OS X

Oh ya, this will have a wide audience..
There’s a very useful little utility for debugging
STL
under
gdb,
and it’s called
gdb_stl_utils.
However, the Makefile that comes with it doesn’t account for multiple architectures like Intel/PPC on the Mac. So I updated the Makefile and posted the whole thing on
clith.com/gdb_stl_utils.
I’ve mailed the new Makefile to
the person who most recently updated it
in hopes of helping others use this very useful tool.

Not sure how I got there, but
this page
has a list of people saying what their favorite romantic books are.
A quick Perl script later, and here are the top books with the number of people on that page that mentioned them:

Iron Man

I went to see Iron Man on Thursday, the day before the erstwhile opening day.
With me were Andy, Jeff K and Craig.
Overall, it was quite a fun movie, which required the usual comic-book suspension of disbelief.
A quick explanation of why Tony Stark was able to ignore inertia would have been nice.
“Engage inertial dampeners” would have sufficed.
Definitely recommended.
I certainly enjoyed it enough to go see it again on Saturday with Luisa and Ronnie.
(Ronnie had piano practice on Thursday night)
