Shalom Rajesh,

There are debuggers, like the wdb debugger, which might be useful.

Hi Rajesh,
and welcome to the forums !

HP has debugging tools such as HP WDB/GDB.

But the best I have found is a good code-review process.

Hi,

Purify is a very powerful product for this task, available for HP-UX as well. Not very cheap, however.
