Language and Scoping Defaults

By default, the debugger and the program being debugged are not required to be in different process groups. You can require that a new process group be called when debugging.

To have a new process group called right after a fork:

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, cllick the Advanced tab.

3. At Make debugger and debugged, click the checkbox to enable it.

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.
