[comp.os.vms] More on Vax C problems

aharon@WISDOM.BITNET (Aharon Shtull-Trauring) (02/25/88)

Come on guys, give me a little credit.  Of course I'm using the shareable
library.  In fact, all our own kernel stuff is built as shareable libraries.
My problem is in the debug image of the application proper.  If its true
that the debugger retains all the multiple debug records for each identifier
included in each object file, as someone wrote, then DEC is correct in
saying that VMS is not a development environment for C applications.
Somehow both Apollo/Aegis and Unix get around this problem!  I repeat my
question then:

(1) Is there anyway I can patch the image to get rid of the unnecessary
debug records?
(2) Does anyone know of an alternative VMS/C development package?
