New and Changed Features
HP Distributed Debugging Environment (HP DDE) 4.23
HP Distributed Debugging Environment
(HP DDE) 4.23
The HP Distributed Debugging Environment (HP DDE) 4.23 is a
high-level language debugger for the HP-UX operating system. HP DDE
4.23 operates on object files generated by the HP C, HP C++, HP aC++,
HP FORTRAN 77, HP Fortran 90, and HP Pascal compilers. HP DDE
provides a powerful graphical user interface based on the OSF/Motif
standard. HP DDE also provides a line-mode user interface.
Although DDE currently ships with HP compilers, DDE will be
discontinued in a future compiler release. HP WDB is the primary
debugger for software development on HP-UX, and the ultimate
replacement for DDE.
Summary of Changes in HP DDE 4.23
HP DDE 4.23 is primarily a maintenance release, however it does
include changes to the DDE Menu Bar, and one new option, the
-link/nolink command line option.
Changes to the DDE Menu Bar
The Tools menu has been removed from the HP DDE Menu Bar.
-link/nolink command option
The -link/nolink command line option is available for use with the
property command to specify whether symbolic links will be used when
displaying the source path. This option is available for use in line mode
only (there is no way to access this option from the DDE GUI).
The syntax for the option is as follows:
property follow -link
property follow -nolink
