C.6. Tools that were used to create MySQL
The following is a list of some of the tools we have used to
create MySQL. We use this to express our thanks to those that has
created them as without these we could not have made MySQL what it
is today.
-
Free Software Foundation
From whom we got an excellent compiler
(gcc), an excellent debugger
(gdb and the libc
library (from which we have borrowed
strto.c to get some code working in
Linux).
-
Free Software Foundation & The XEmacs development team
For a really great editor/environment used by almost everybody
at MySQL AB.
-
Julian Seward
Author of valgrind, an excellent memory
checker tool that has helped us find a lot of otherwise hard
to find bugs in MySQL.
-
Dorothea Lütkehaus and Andreas Zeller
For DDD (The Data Display Debugger) which
is an excellent graphical front end to
gdb).
