Hi,
The current win2000 compiler doesn't have a native debugger,
however it is possible to use third party C level debuggers (such as
provided by Borland/Microsoft Visual C, gdb for win NT). Because the
compile method is through C, the 4GL level debugging is largely
straight forward.
If using MSVC, for example, you need only load the binary (first
ensuring it has been compiled in debug, not release mode), load the
4GL source and set appropriate breakpoints, etc.
If debugging a GUI process, it is necessary to start the application
first, and then attach the debugger to the running process - from here
you can subsequently set breakpoints, etc and resume execution.
4GL debugging on Unix is hugely simplified - we can supply a front-
end for gdb which is tailored to 4GL debugging (and is designed to
work as closely as possible to the original Informix debugger). Let me
know if you require any further information.
