I am having problems debugging my C++ programs using the dbx on SUN.
I'm using the AT&T C++ translator (CC) for compiling. Like it is said in
the manpages, I'm passing the -g option to the CC, for including additional
symbol table info in the .o files.
But, when I use that source (.cc) file in dbx, it says 'File jfhd.cc not compiled
with -g option'.
I would appreciate if any of you who have used CC and dbx, can help me in this.
Thanx
Sagar.

Make sure you are using the right dbx, the one that came with the C++ translator.Quote:>But, when I use that source (.cc) file in dbx, it says 'File jfhd.cc not compiled

1. Sun Workshop 4.2 C++ Compiler - debug symbol format not understood by debuggers
The Sun Workshop C++ Compiler (4.2) seems to generate object files
with debug symbols that are not understood by some debuggers,
namely GDB (even the latest 4.16 version for Solaris) and older
DBXs. I don't have the latest DBX debugger, it's quite expensive.
The UPS debugger seems to understand the debug symbols,
but it doesn't handle C++ templates properly.
Has anybody else also encountered this problem ?
Is there some way (eg. compiler/linker flag etc. to generate old
format etc.) in order to use GDB to properly debug C++ programs
compiled with the Sun Workshop C++ Compiler ? I've tried numerous
flag settings, nothing fixes the problem. Anybody know of a
debugger other than those mentioned that will work for me ?
Any help appreciated.
