When debugging GCC 1.34 output using the VMS debugger, symbols are not recognized. Is this an assembler or a compiler problem? Has anyone seen this? Dan

Has anyone seen this? | | Dan It is not a bug -- I never got around to finishing the VMS Debugger support when I ported GCC to VMS. It gets the line numbers (and still makes mistakes sometimes on Scoping rules) but gets no variable declarations. Want to add the support? Go to the GAS source and start thinking about how you would turn UNIX ".stab" entries into internal descriptions of variables (and their scoping). The generation of the Debugger symbol table in the object file is pretty straightforward once you have done that. David -------
