Problems and Limitations
NOTE An alternate way to display class information would be to link the
module that has the definition of the class into the executable for
debugging instead of putting the definition into the shared library.
HP DDE and Compile-line -g option Limitations
HP DDE encounters a limitation with source files that are compiled with
the -g option. If a source file includes an external declaration for a
variable that is declared within a file that is not compiled with -g, and if
that variable is not used in the first source file, then HP DDE handles
the variable as a pointer. If that variable is used in the first source file,
then DDE handles the variable correctly.
HP DDE and Emacs Escape Characters in ksh Mode
HP DDE 4.23 uses % (percent sign) instead of a \ (backslash) for emacs
editing in ksh mode.
HP DDE Limitations with a SIGSTOP Process
HP DDE cannot adopt a process which is stopped with SIGSTOP.
Configuring AUTOMOUNT PATH for HP DDE
HP DDE 4.23 uses /nfs as the AUTOMOUNT PATH. If the
AUTOMOUNT PATH is configured to something other than /nfs, DDE
will still use /nfs. For example, if the AUTOMOUNT PATH is configured
as /net instead of /nfs, DDE will use /nfs.
The solution provided in this description solves the problem of choosing
Load Executable from the File menu in earlier versions of DDE, and
having an incorrect path name display in the Executable Name field
To change the AUTOMOUNT PATH, follow these steps:
• Create the .softbench directory in your home directory if none
exists.
• Inside the .softbench directory create a file called wusr.conf if
none exists.
