I am running dbx on a large program. I have clearly defined "int *kpk;".
However, when I tell dbx to "p kpk" it displays an integer, and when I
tell it to "p *kpk" it tells me '"kpk" is not a pointer'. If I move
the declaration inside the "main" function, dbx behaves normally.
I have written a stub program
int *kpk;
void main (void)
{
}
and dbx behaves properly on this program.
Also, when I ask dbx "whereis kpk", it tells me ".kpk", so it looks like
there is only one variable with this name.
This is all under AIX PS/2 v1.1.
Am I confused, or is dbx?
