WDB Debugger Tool
HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20) includes an Itanium-based version of
WDB (/opt/langtools/bin/gdb), a debugger for C, C++, Fortran and
assembly language. This version will only work on native Itanium-based
applications (programs compiled for HP-UX on Itanium-based systems).
gdb command functionality on Itanium-based systems is the same as on
PA based systems except for:
• the -tui mode. On PA based systems this provides a terminal
interface similar to xdb. On HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20), gdb will
only have a line mode interface. A graphical user interface will be
available in a later release.
• run-time heap checking. The features in the 2.1 release of WDB on
PA-based systems that detected memory leaks and heap problems are
not available in this release.
• fix-and-continue. The fix-and-continue features introduced in the 2.1
release of WDB are not available in this release.
