Checking that dbx has Exclusive Control of the Program

Related Topics:

Advanced Defaults

By default, the debugger checks that dbx has exclusive control of the program being debugged. It keeps dbx from attaching to the process if another tool is already attached to it. You can turn off this behavior but be aware that if more than one tool is attached to and attempting to control a process, chaoric behavior may ensue.

To not check that dbx has exclusive control of the program being debugged:

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 Exclusive attach, click the checkbox to disable 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.

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