Reading Information for cfront Compiled Programs

Debugging Performance Defaults

By default, the debugger does not accept symbolic information generated by cfront. Reading cfront information slows down dbx by up to 30%, so by default it is ignored. However, if you're debugging cfront compiled programs, then you need the information read to allow dbx to understand the output.

To read information for cfront compiled programs:

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, click the Debugging Performance tab.

3. At Accept symbolic information generated by cfront, click the checkbox.

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.
