Sun Studio 12 Update 1: Debugging a Program With dbx

pop Command

The pop command removes one or more frames from the call stack. It is valid only in native mode.

You can pop only to a frame for a function that was compiled with -g. The program counter is reset to the beginning of the source line at the callsite. You cannot pop past a function call made by the debugger; use pop -c.

Normally a pop command calls all the C++ destructors associated with the popped frames; you can override this behavior by setting the dbx pop_auto_destruct environment variable to off (see Setting dbx Environment Variables).
