Has anyone ever used SysV's sdb interactive debugger with FORTRAN programs? I am running ATT's f77 on a 3B2/400 under SysV 3.0 and programs running under sdb are compiles with f77 -g. sdb "sort of works", but fails in some essential (for my applications) points. . After a breakpoint, it won't display the contents of REAL*8 arrays. . It won't display subroutine arguments (Dummy variables). . Setting breakpoints seems to be a little bit of an art. I can never tell where exactly they are going to fall in the source code. Am I missing something or sdb is not the "powerful debugger" mentioned in the manual? It is certainly the least flexible one I ever tried.
