- Hi,
- I am having some trouble with dbx.
-
- I am running ultrix 4.2a on a DECstation 5000/200
-
-
- the dbx debugger has several problems, the easy to isolate ones are
-
-
- dbx does not see upper case variables if a lower case variable of
- the same name exists.
-
- dbx does not print doubles correctly. I have to use printf's in my program
- to display the value of the double correctly.
- NOTE: ladbx has this same problem...
-
-
- are these problems fixed in 4.3??, and if they are is there a way to get the
- executables without installing 4.3?? (My system manager will not install 4.3
- because we have cad developers running who can not take the time hit to adapt to
- the changes in the os, and because we have diskless clients, and diskless clients
- STILL have to be install from scratch with 4.3)
-
- Is there any other way I could get a patched version of dbx ???
-
-
- another problem I am having is that I have mixed c++ and fortran programs...
- and ladbx does not support debuggin fortran, will this EVER be changed???
-
-
- thanks for any help
