Vax 11/780 sdb Release 5.0 I have been working on a multi-lingual microassembler for a couple of months now. I compile my lexical analyzer, three yacc parsers, and main C program with generic functions in it all with the -g option so I can use that invaluable tool -- sdb(1). Today, I came in and a user told me of a problem with gus (my assembler), so I took it into sdb as I do several times every day. It came back with the usual 'No core image' and the '*' prompt, and will do anything I ask it to except set breakpoints. Have you ever got the 'Cannot set breakpoint' message? Well, I suddenly get it everywhere; I cannot set *ANY* breakpoints. I have tried recompiling, but to no avail. Is my program just too big (the executable, unstripped of course, is about 312Kb). Any help would be appreciated.... -- He gave the novice a long, icy stare and quietly growled, "RTFM".

I got this once when using BSD4.1. The reason was that the text file was being used by someone else (well, me on another terminal) at the same time. To cure it simply make a private copy of the binary and then do an sdb. Jim Crammond. ..!ukc!edcaad!hwcs!jim
