HP WDB 6.3 Release Notes Announcement HP Wildebeest Debugger (WDB) 6.3 is an HP-supported implementation of the open source debugger GDB. It supports source-level debugging of programs written in HP C, HP aC++, and Fortran 90 on Itanium®-based systems running HP-UX 11i v2 or HP-UX 11i v3, and HP 9000 systems running HP-UX 11i v1, HP-UX 11i v2, or HP-UX 11i v3. This document discusses the most recent product information for HP WDB 6.3.
• librtc displays wrong names for functions in leak report. • WDB 6.2 is unable to print addresses in a 32-bit process or core file. This occurs only when the process has very large segments. • Executing info heap command for the first time before executing info heap command displays incorrect result. • info heap or info leak command fails to report realloc() call allocations using RTC.
Attaching to process failed. Hint: Check if this process is already being traced by another gdb or other ttrace tools like caliper and tusc. Hint: Check whether program is on an NFS-mounted file-system. If so,you will need to mount the file system with the "nointr" option with mount(1) or make a local copy of the program to resolve this problem. Known issues This section describes known issues in this release of HP WDB.
Limitations for batch mode heap debugging On PA-RISC systems, the batch mode memory debugging might fail if the application uses atfork handlers. This issue is resolved in HP WDB 6.1 onwards on Itanium systems. Batch mode thread debugging • The feature does not obtain the thread-error information in batch mode for forked process in a multiprocessing application. However, if the librtc.sl library is pre-loaded, the debugger obtains the thread-error information in the batch mode for exec-ed application.
If you install HP WDB GUI on a system where HP WDB has not yet been installed, HP WDB is installed automatically. Compatibility HP WDB is not supported on releases of the HP-UX operating system prior to 11i v1. Supported configurations The following configurations are supported by HP WDB: • Installing and running locally on an HP-UX 11i v1, HP-UX 11i v2, or HP-UX 11i v3 operating system.
NOTE: If you install a compiler product that includes a version of HP WDB earlier than this version, swinstall generates the following message: ERROR: A later revision (one with a higher revision number) of fileset "WDB-GUI.WDB-GUI-HELP,r=B.11.31" has already been installed. Either remove this fileset or change the "allow_downdate” To retain the later version of HP WDB, ignore this message. The new products are installed, and the latest version of HP WDB continues to be available.
