Subject: RE: DWARF problem - newbie question
Date: Mon, 05 May 2003 09:57:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F6F4712B759A34ABD453A8B39C10D6260E145@bagman.edm.com> (raw)
Sorry, I made a mistake
compiling task.
It was -g -g3 -gdwarf-2.
With -g3 -gdwarf-2
"info macro M" works.
What else can I have with dwarf-2.
Can I step in macro and see it's content on the screen?
Thanks,
----
