Oracle® Developer Studio 12.6: Debugging a Program with dbx

Uppercase Letters

If your program has uppercase letters in any identifiers, dbx recognizes them. You need not provide case-sensitive or case-insensitive commands, as in some earlier versions.

    Fortran and dbx must be in the same case-sensitive or case-insensitive mode:

  • Compile and debug in case-insensitive mode without the -U option. The default value of the dbx input_case_sensitive environment variable is then false.

    If the source has a variable named LAST, then in dbx, both the print LAST or print last commands work. Fortran and dbx consider LAST and last to be the same, as requested.

  • Compile and debug in case-sensitive mode using -U. The default value of the dbx input_case_sensitive environment variable is then true.

    If the source has a variable named LAST and one named last, then in dbx, print last works but print LAST does not work. Fortran and dbx distinguish between LAST and last, as requested.


    Note -  File or directory names are always case-sensitive in dbx, even if you have set the dbx input_case_sensitive environment variable to false.
