idbc and modules

[Alin_M_Elena]

Hi,


I decided after a while that using the debugger idbc is not a bad way to debug fortran apps.


My trouble is to set breakponts for subprograms from modules. (I could do it in the past and that is very annoying).

at the moment I grep for the symbol name in the binary and I set the br on it (works perfect).
I would like to go back to my old ways when used to do br mod_name::sub_name

Hi Alin,

we used to indeed allow the use of the :: operator in earlier versions of IDB. Since this is however not an operator that is supported officially as part of the Fortran syntax we deprecated it. That said you should be be able to simply use the Fortran % operator instead and be able to access subroutines in exactly the same way you were used to.

By the way - have to tried the full blown Intel Debugger GUI by calling idb instead of idbc? This shold add another layer of convenience and ease of use to your debug experience.

Thanks, Rob

Hi Rob,

Thank you very much for you fast answer. Unfortunately it seems % is not really working for me

Yes I have tried the GUI, indeed very good, but running on top of java on a 64 bit machine it is a nightmare.

A comment - the Windows Fortran debugger uses :: to permit qualification of module symbols. Percent has a specific meaning in Fortran which is not what is wanted here. :: in this context is not meaningful in Fortran, so it works as a notation in the debugger.

Hate to disagree with Rob and Steve, but neither :: nor % nor %% work. What works is a period.

Is this a bug???

Hi Ron,

. is the right answer for this version...

I have seen in the gui parallel debuging any chance to use it in command line mode?
