Can I debug with idb in Xcode?

Li_Dong — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 15:02:54 GMT

Hi everyone,

Recently, I switched to develop Fortran program in Xcode with Intel Fortran compiler 11.1.084. When I debug, Xcode uses gdb. But I can't viewthe constant variables or public variables of a module from gdb. So how can I debug Fortran with idb in Xcode? I have done some search on the internet, but still can't figure it out.

And it seems that I can't see the array in user defined type with idb, too. It doesn't support "::" operator. How to see it?

Cheers,

DONG Li

IDB does not work under Xcode.

What is the entire command and syntax you use in IDB to view the array component? type%array ?

Hi ron,

What a pity that IDB doesn't work with Xcode!

I define a type "tracer_type", and declare a 1D array "tracers" in that type. When I am in IDB, I input "p tracers(1)", it says

(idb) p tracers(1)

No symbol "tracers" in current context.

Evaluating 'tracers' failed!

Could not evaluate array expression tracers(1).

cannot evaluate tracers(1)

Cheers,

I don't seem to be able to reproduce what you are seeing. Here is my output:

Hi, the simplified version of my code is

type tracer_type

... ! some variables

end type tracer_type

type(tracer_type) tracers(10) ! an array in type of tracer_type

So I got an array in type of "tracer_type", not an array in the type structure of it.

Cheers

How do I input formal code with color in forum? : P

You will have to show me your screen capture because I still can see the structure, as far as I understand:

Hi ron,

I find out what is the problem. My main program (main.f90) uses a module (tracer.f90) which defines a type (tracer_type) and an array in that type (tracers). Then I can display the content of "tracers" in that module, but I can't see them in main program.

So the main program is not in the scope of "tracers".

I also tried "p tracer::tracers(1)", but it doesn't work. How to see it without in its module?

Thanks for help!

CAn you show a code sample?
