Debugging Performance Defaults

In the Debugging Performance tab of the Debugging Options Dialog Box, you can set options to enhance the performance of the debugger such as debugging in Quick Mode, #include files, and caches. You can choose:

• To run the debugger in Quick Mode, which delays the loading of symbols (see Setting the Default Mode to Quick Mode)
• To read the debugging information for each #include file only once (see Storing Debugging Information for include Files)
• To delay the loading of modules compiled with -xs option until the debugging information for the modules is required (see Delaying Loading of Modules Compiled with -xs
• To change the size of the a.out cache when debugging multiple programs serially with a single dbx. This reduces dbx's start-up time, but increases its swap space requirements. See Changing the Number of a.outs Cached.
• To reduce the swap space requirements of dbx when debugging many different a.outs with many different shared libraries (see Disabling the loadobject Cache)
• To read information for cfront compiled programs (see Reading Information for cfront Compiled Programs)
