Another possible cause of coredump might be the absence of the motif patches
PHSS_22947 and PHSS_23823. You can install these patches as well, to solve the coredump
problem.
• Problem:Support of FORTRAN array slices 0
Workaround:HP WDB-GUI 3.1.5 or higher does not support FORTRAN array slice feature
in the Local Variables, Watch, and Quick Watch windows. The HP WDB 3.1.5 or higher
command-line supports this feature. However, the user can make use of the GDB
command line prompt to print the FORTRAN array slices.
The WDB GUI 5.5.2 does NOT support the following features on Integrity systems:
— Fix and continue: Edit sources and have the debugger compile and patch in the
changes without restarting the debugged program.
— Steplast support for C and C++ in PA: In general, if a function call has arguments
which makes further function calls, a simple step command will step into argument
evaluation call. This new feature, steplast, will step into a function but not into the
calls for evaluating arguments.
NOTE The steplast is supported in WDB GUI with HP WDB version 3.1.5 or
higher.
