Using dbx With C++

Although this chapter concentrates on two specific aspects of debugging C++, dbx allows you full functionality when debugging your C++ programs. You can:

• Find out about class and type definitions (see Looking Up Definitions of Types and Classes)

• Print or display inherited data members (see Printing C++ Pointers)

• Find out dynamic information about an object pointer (see Printing C++ Pointers)

• Debug virtual functions (see Calling a Function)

• Using runtime type information (see Printing the Value of a Variable, Expression, or Identifier)

• Set breakpoints on all member functions of a class (see Setting Breakpoints in All Member Functions of a Class)

• Set breakpoints on all overloaded member functions (see Setting Breakpoints in Member Functions of Different Classes)

• Set breakpoints on all overloaded nonmember functions (see Setting Multiple Breakpoints in Nonmember Functions)

• Set breakpoints on all member functions of a particular object (see Setting Breakpoints in Objects)

• Deal with overloaded functions or data members (see Setting a stop Breakpoint in a Function)
