Hi,
I recently had to modify our version of dbxread.c to accomodate more
parameters/common_symbols. In the end, I just bumped the #define
PENDINGSIZE from 100 to 1000. Our code has many large Fortran
COMMON areas included in several files, which apparently overran the
'pending' structure. The resulting error is:
(Error reading memory address <HEX>: I/O error (5).
which also disabled backtracing (from the innermost frame).
================
Also, Peter Watkins added the following fragment to dbxread.c
at line 3906 [[ in function 'define_symbol' after the 'if' block
beginning: "if (deftype == 'p' && *p == 'F')" ]]
else if (deftype == 'a' && *p == 'r')
/* (pew)
Handle Sun-style local fortran array types. */
{
struct type *type;
p--;
type = read_type (&p);
SYMBOL_TYPE (sym) = type;
deftype = 'l';
}
=================
Please let me know that you've gotten this.
We've made other changes including:
(1) printing multiple variables at a time
(2) crude allowance of arguments to user-defined functions
(3) acting on ranges of breakpoints at a time
(rather than enumerating each one)
(4) filtering breakpoint info output according to
the enable, disable, etc. cases.
(5) allowing printing of breakpoint info in a source-able
format to screen, file or appended to file.
(6) fixing ^C^C for emacs (though, I sure this has been
done already.)
Thought you'd want to know,
