Debugging a C Application or C++ Application That Embeds a Java Application

You can debug a C application or C++ application that embeds a Java application using the JNI_CreateJavaVM interface. The C application or C++ application must start the Java application by specifying the following options to the JVM software:

-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrundbx_agent

For the JVM software to locate libdbx_agent.so, you need to add the appropriate path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running the Java application:

• If you are using the 32-bit version of the JVM software on a system running the Solaris OS, add/installation_directory/SUNWspro/lib/libdbx_agent.so to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

• If you are using the 64-bit version of the JVM software on a SPARC based system running the Solaris OS, add /installation_directory/SUNWspro/lib/v9/libdbx_agent.so to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

• If you are using the 64-bit version of the JVM software on an x64 based system running the Linux OS, add /installation_directory/sunstudio12/lib/amd64/libdbx_agent.so to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

The installation_directory is the location where the Sun Studio software is installed.
