The Intel Debugger (IDB) was developed by Intel and provided support (at various levels depending on compiler product) for debugging programs written in C, C++, and Fortran (77, 90 and 95). [4] It provided a choice of command-line and Java-based graphical user interface (GUI) on the Linux Eclipse platform. [5] The Intel Debugger was a component of a number of Intel software products, such as Intel Parallel Studio [6] and their C++ and Fortran compiler products; it supported parallel architectures including MPI, OpenMP, and Pthreads. [7]

Contents

Support for the Intel Debugger has been deprecated — in the Intel Fortran Composer 2013 product — with the last released version being 13.0.1 (2013). For Linux and OS X, Intel supports extensions to the GNU Debugger (the GDB provided with Intel Composer XE 2013 SP1 is based on GDB 7.5). Intel maintains a fork of GDB [8] and works on its relevant bugs to get them implemented upstream. [9] For Windows, Intel supports extensions to the Visual Studio Debugger. The parallel debugger extension enables additional capabilities for debugging parallel programs and is available for Visual Studio (2005 and 2008). [10]

Intel MPX are a discontinued set of extensions to the x86 instruction set architecture. With compiler, runtime library and operating system support, Intel MPX claimed to enhance security to software by checking pointer references whose normal compile-time intentions are maliciously exploited at runtime due to buffer overflows. In practice, there have been too many flaws discovered in the design for it to be useful, and support has been deprecated or removed from most compilers and operating systems. Intel has listed MPX as removed in 2019 and onward hardware in section 2.5 of its Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual Volume 1.
