since building gcc-2.0 I cant get sun dbx to debug the output files.
Is this possible. I could not find and option to allow this in the
distribution. the error i get is
% dbx userprog
Reading symbolic information...
dbx: internal error:
Your executable file contains corrupt symbol information:
The debugger expected to find char '=', but found char '<nul>'.
This problem originated in compilation, assembly, archiving, or linking.
Rebuilding your program often clears this problem.
To investigate further, try shell command nm(2) to see symbols:
nm -opa yourprog >somefile
'yourprog' is your executable file or object file or archive.
Edit somefile, and search for ''.
Debugger unable to proceed.
recompile, reassemble, rearchive, or relink, and try again.
when processing stabs from source ../src/userprog.c in userprog
Second question:
so I tried using xxgdb version 1.04 with gdb 4.4. But it wont display any
source files. A quick debug session with dbx showed that the directory
list it is using is all null pointers. Thus it obviously cant find the files.
It should be using at least the current directory but isnt. is version 1.04 hte
lastest release of xxgdb. BTW gdb at the command level works fine.
thanks.
