Gathering a Testcase for a DBX Problem

Please include the following in a testcase for a DBX problem:

• ALL source code
  • Header files
  • Any source code used to create a library
  • Any make files
  • Any source code files
  • All other files used to compile the program
• A README which explains:
  • What you think the problem is
  • The exact command entered at the prompt--with all options
  • The exact dbx subcommands
  • Any error messages, numbers, or return codes
  • Was a core file created? If so, send it with the testcase.
  • How the problem manifests itself, that is, what error codes, values, messages and so on we can expect to see when the error has occurred
  • What the expected behavior is (what the program should do)
  • The level of your compiler, which you can determine with the following commands:

           To determine the level of your compiler (AIX 3.2.x):
             lslpp -h "xlf*.obj"    | pg        # Fortran
             lslpp -h "xlc*.obj"    | pg        # C
             lslpp -h "xlC*.obj"    | pg        # C++
             lslpp -h "xlp*.obj"    | pg        # PASCAL
             lslpp -h "MFcobol.*"   | pg        # MICRO FOCUS COBOL
            To determine the level of your compiler (AIX Version 4.x.x):
             lslpp -h "xlf???"      | pg        # Fortran
             lslpp -h "xlC.*"       | pg        # C or C++ v3.1.x.x
             lslpp -h "xlp*.obj"    | pg        # PASCAL
             lslpp -h "cobol.*"     | pg        # IBM COBOL SET for AIX
             lslpp -h "vac.*"       | pg        # C for AIX v4.3 or v4.4
             lslpp -h "vacpp.*"     | pg        # VisualAge C++ v4.x.x.x
             lslpp -h "ibmcxx.*"    | pg        # IBM C and C++ Compilers v3.6.4.x
    

• The output of the following commands:

  For AIX Version 3:

     lslpp -h bos.obj 
     what /usr/lib/libdbx.a 
     sum -i /usr/lib/libdbx.a 
     lslpp -ha bosadt.* 
  

  For AIX Version 4:

     lslpp -ha bos.adt.debug
