- USING SHERLOCK TO EXPLORE CPP
-
- This disk contains documentation for the Sherlock(TM) debugging system, along
- with cppdb.exe and cppdbx.exe, executable versions of CPP that contains
- Sherlock macros compiled in. cppdb.exe gathers timing statistics using the PC
- hardware while cppdbx.exe does not. You may use these Sherlock macros to trace
- the execution of CPPDB or CCPDBX.
-
- The file sherlock.doc contains an introduction to Sherlock, the Sherlock User's
- Guide and Reference Guide, as well as documentation for several tools supplied
- with the Sherlock system: SPP, SDEL, SDIF and CPP itself.
-
- Sherlock macros lie dormant until unabled from the command line. All output
- from Sherlock macros is sent to standard output, which may, of course,
- be redirected to any file from the command line. To enable a list of
- statistics gathered during CPP's execution, invoke CPP as follows:
-
- c>CPPDB ++dump or
- c>CPPDBX ++dump
-
- Check the source code for CPP for the names of the tracepoints to enable, or
- simply look through the dump of statistics produced using ++dump.
-
- You may recompile CPP without actually removing the Sherlock macros even if you
- do not own Sherlock. Simply rename the file sldummy.h to sl.h. The file
- sldummy.h contains do-nothing macro definitions for all Sherlock macros.
