dbx

New and Changed Features

The following features were added or changed in Oracle Solaris Studio 12.3 dbx.

• dbx now includes macro expansion. For details, see Appendix C, Macros, in Oracle Solaris Studio 12.3: Debugging a Program With dbx, or type help macros at the (dbx) prompt when running dbx.

• Object-Oriented Fortran Support:

  • dbx now supports type extension and polymorphic pointers. This is consistent with C++ support.

  • The output_dynamic_type and output_inherited_members dbx environment variables now also work with Fortran.

  • You can now use the -r, +r, -d, and +d options with the print and whatis commands to get information about the inherited (parent) types as well as the dynamic types.

• dbx now supports the Fortran allocatable scalar type, in addition to the allocatable array type.
