I have been perusing all the dbx documentation that I can get my hands on
looking for a means of printing the range of an array, i.e. I wish to print
only the values between a start and end index, NOT the entire array. I
also do not wish to print each value one at a time. As far as I can tell,
dbx only allows me these two options. Now sdb allows this by separating
the start and end index with a semicolon. Does anyone know of an equivalent
for dbx? This seems to be its major deficiency.

I use the following aliases in my .dbxinit to dump <2nd arg> values from the start of the C array named <1st arg>. alias F "&(\!1[0])/\!2 F" alias D "&(\!1[0])/\!2 D" alias X "&(\!1[0])/\!2 X" For Fortran arrays the [0] would need to be replaced by [1]. A fairly obvious minor kind of modification would be to write (for instance) alias X "&(\!1[\!2])/\!3 X" to dump the <3rd arg> values from offset <2nd arg> in array <1st arg>. I've used the first three aliases; the third is just speculation.

I don't understand the command '&' that the alias uses. NOR DOES DBX! Please excuse me if I am missing something very basic, but I put these aliases in my .dbxinit and when I typed: (dbx) F(aray,3) I got from dbx: &((!1[0])//!2 F(aray,3) ^ unrecognized command (dbx) Yes, I did include the '\' in the definition. This was attempted in Ultrix and SunOs 4.0. _____________________________________ Brian V. Smith (bvsmith@lbl.gov) Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory We don't need no signatures!
