Debugging a Program With dbx

A Sample Initialization File

Here is a sample .dbxrc file:


dbxenv case input_case_sensitive false
catch FPE

The first line changes the default setting for the case sensitivity control. dbxenv refers to the set of debugging environment attributes. input_case_sensitive refers to the matching control. false is the control setting.

The next line is a debugging command, catch, which adds a system signal, FPE to the default list of signals to which dbx responds, stopping the program.
