Known Problems and Workarounds

You can modify this behavior by setting the environment variable, SB_LOAD_DOT_EMACS.If
it is set to TRUE, the .emacs file will be automatically loaded, and if it is set to FALSE,
the file is not loaded. In addition, if you want to load an alternate file, you can set the
variable to the name of the file you want to load.
NOTE A help window is displayed until a value for this variable is set.
• The euro Compliance
SoftBench supports the euro symbol. However, before using the euro symbol on HP-UX
10.20 or 11.0, you need to install the euro operating system patches. You do not require
patches for using the euro symbol with SoftBench on HP-UX 11i.
The following problems were discovered during the SoftBench euro testing:
— SoftBench Xemacs Editor handles the euro symbol correctly for all manipulations, but
it does not display the euro symbol correctly.
— SoftBench Static Analyzer fails to find the euro symbol when it is the only item in a
search string. Static Analyzer can, however, find the euro symbol when it is included
with other items in a search string.
— SoftBench project names cannot include the euro symbol, because it is interpreted as
a non-alphanumeric character.
— The target graph replaces the euro symbol in a target name with a different special
symbol.
— Text boxes in SoftBench CM do not display the euro symbol.
• A.03.13 and Newer aCC Option
The 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 versions of the HP aC++
compiler, working with an HP linker having a what string date of 981120 or later, contains
a new option, +objdebug.
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
the compile time. However, the DDE debugger and SoftDebug cannot locate debug tables
stored there.
You can use the +objdebug option when compiling SoftBench projects. To add this option,
perform the following steps:
