The Apple debugger included with Xcode has a graphical interface, but was designed for C/C++ and has no knowledge of Fortran. They find graphical interfaces easier to use, more productive and want their programming tools for Mac OS to have a Mac GUI as well. Absoft research shows, customers who choose Macs often do so because of Apple’s excellent graphical user interface. The alternatives are either command line or designed for C/C++ with no knowledge of Fortran. Prices start at $99.00.Ībsoft says Fx3 is especially beneficial for the Mac OS/Intel community because Fx3 is the only graphical Fortran debugger from a commercial vendor currently available for Mac OS/Intel. Previously available only as part of Absoft’s Pro Fortran suite, it can now be purchased as a stand-alone item and is compatible with Absoft Pro Fortran and Intel Fortran compilers, Apple C and gnu c compilers, and assembly language. Absoft’s Fx3 debugger provides a full graphical interface for Fortran developers on Mac OS/Intel machines.
