(a) Compile and link the code with the debug flag set by using: export INFORMIXC="cc -g" # or "gcc -g"(b) Sometimes, it is easier to see the real C file than the ESQL/C file. Compile the ESQL/C source code to a .c file (esql -c). Then post process the .c file so that each '#line' directive is converted to a C comment /* #line 32 "file.ec" */. Then compile the .c file to object code with the esql script 'esql -o file.c'. Then link as before. (c) Use debugger or dbx or gdb or whatever to actually run the debugger. I tend to make use of embedded print statements at least as much as I do use a source code debugger. Note that the environment variable stuff won't work with ESQL/C 5.x unless you patch the esql script. And the reason for messing with INFORMIXC in the first place is that the esql script thinks that -g is a directive to itself, so it does not pass it through to the C compiler. -- Yours, Jonathan Leffler (Jonathan.Leffler@Informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix v1.00.PC1 -- http://www.perl.com/CPAN "I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it!"
