Delaying Loading of Modules Compiled with -xs

Related Topics:

Debugging Performance Defaults

You can delay the loading of modules compiled with -xs until the debugging information for these modules is needed, rather than having the modules loaded during the startup of the debugging session. This may shorten the debugging startup time when modules have been compiled with -xs. By default, this debugging option is set to on.

To delay the loading of modules compiled with -xs:

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 Delay loading modules compiled with -xs, click the checkbox to enable.

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.

Note - This option is equivalent to the dbx
delay_xs Environment Variable.
