I do it all the time. So do others who used to use adb. I don't know
adb, and don't wish to know it, because it is so ugly.
BTW, I have fixed up and enhanced dbx, so maybe genuine limitations in your
dbx are at issue, but the only things I can think of off-hand that I had to
add to dbx from adb were the ability to modify the object file, and the
ability to specify relocation address (mainly for kernel debugging).
I guess I would like to take advantage of this opportunity to ask,
"Are there any other features which adb users find missing in dbx?"
Please email to me. Thanks.
