Actually, I do use the built in Expect/Tcl debugger. There are a few
commands I wrote to mimic GDB commands, but being able to set a breakpoint
is great. I wish I had had that ability during the first bunch of years I was

I also use print statements, and other things as well for "custom debug
output". Although I haven't tried it, Source Navigator has Tcl support.
