Release Notes For SoftBench 6.60

Release Notes For SoftBench 6.60
Known Problems and Workarounds
Chapter 110
• An A.03.13 and newer aCC option has the potential to break the SoftBench
Debugger and DDE on HP-UX 10.20 and 11.0
The A.03.13 and newer version of the HP aC++ compiler working with an HP linker with a
what string date of 981120 or later contains a the feature, the +objdebug option. This
option instructs the compiler and linker to store debug information in the *.o object files
instead of adding that information into the executable. This significantly speeds up
compile times. However the DDE debugger and SoftDebug cannot locate debug tables
stored there. You can use the +objdebug option when compiling SoftBench projects. Add
the option to “Target: Modify Properties => Customize Build Configuration”,
(see SoftBench online help for more information). You will not be able to use the integrated
SoftBench debugger, SoftDebug. SoftDebug will treat these programs as if they have been
stripped and will attempt to debug the program at the assembly level.
A workaround is to use WDB, HP's version of the GDB debugger to debug programs
compiled and linked with the +objdebug option. See “Compatibility Information” on
page 13 for information on how to integrate WDB with SoftBench.
• Using Static Analyzer Databases from SoftBench 5.X
If you have a Static Analyzer database that you generated with SoftBench 5.X, you must
regenerate the database before you can perform Static Analysis with SoftBench 6.X.
Internationalization Problems
• SoftXemacs window “rolls up” when it is started with Japanese SoftBench on
HP-UX 10.20 and 11.0.
On HP-UX 10.20 and HP-UX 11.0, SoftXemacs starts but the window immediately shrinks
to a one line window instead of maintaining the original window size. To correct this
problem you must set the following X resource BEFORE you start SoftBench:
xemacs*preeditType:Root
To set this resource place it in your X resource file ($HOME/filename where filename is
.Xresources or .Xdefaults) then use the “xrdb” command.
xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources
