Storing Debugging Information for include Files

Related Topics:

Debugging Performance Defaults

include files contribute debugging information about types, classes, and function prototypes. As each include file is typically included in many .c files, all the information is duplicated.

By default, dbx reads information originating from an include file only once. In some cases, this can fail. As a safeguard, you can choose to have dbx read the include file each time it encounters it.

To read the debugging information for each #include file only once

1. In the Debugging Window, choose Debug Debugging Options. Or, in the Sun WorkShop main window, choose Options Debugging Options.

2. In the Debugging Options Dialog Box, choose Category Debugging Performance.

3. At Store debugging information, click the checkbox to disable.

4. Click OK to apply the change to the current session, or click Save as Defaults and then click OK to apply it to all sessions.
