Problems and Limitations
HP DDE Limitation Regarding Use of C++ typeid
Operator
The typeid operator will not work in HP DDE command expressions. For
example:
print typeid(*a).name()
“type_info” not found in current environment.
type_info class symbol information unavailable.
typeid information unavailable for this type.
As a workaround, you can use the describe command to get a verbose
description of an expression's true dynamic type. For example:
describe *a
HP DDE Problem with Setting Breakpoints at the PC
Location
If you choose the menu item Break: Set at PC, a Breakpoint(s) set
message appears in the Debugger Output Area, but no breakpoint
symbol appears in the Annotation Margin of the Source File Area. This
breakpoint is set at the assembly level only.
Invoke Show: Assembly Instructions to see where the breakpoint is
set. The breakpoint symbol appears in the Annotation Margin of the
Assembly Instructions display.
HP DDE Problem with Window Size
If you have defined the X resource DDE.geometry for an earlier version of
HP DDE, remove or comment it out of your X resources when you move
to HP DDE 4. x . Otherwise, you are likely to find that the main debugger
window is an inappropriate size and that DDE has ignored the
DDE.mainX and DDE.mainY resources in the .ddeguirc file.
