Hi, Does anyone know how to debug into a library routine in Turbo Debugger? I compiled all the routines in the library with debug info ON and added them to a library with TLIB. The size of the library is only a few bytes larger than the sum of the .objs so I'm assuming that TLIB didn't strip the info off. I link with the /v option of TLink and can debug modules that didn't come from a library no problem but not modules from the libraries (even though I have the source and the debug info seems to be there). I couldn't find any mention of this in the Turbo Debugger manual even though I would think this would be a common need. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, bruce bruce Wilson | "what you don't spend you don't have to earn..." zeexsun@watshine.waterloo.edu | from Blake (a film by Bill Mason)

Take a look at the .MAP of your program; if you see any segments with length 0, then the following segment will be inaccessible. Turbo Pascal generates empty segments if you reference a unit but don't use any code from it; I don't know about Turbo C. Duncan Murdoch

Hi, Thanks to all who responded. The problem is that there is a bug in TLIB.EXE (in v2.0). When adding .objs to a library, it would strip the line number info from the .obj. Borland has a patch for this which I found on the net a while back (I grabbed it but didn't have time to look at it closely and thus forgot about it until now). I have applied the patch and everything works perfectly. The arcs can be found at simtel20: pd1:<msdos.turbo-c>tc2pat.arc /* fix for tlib */ pd1:<msdos.borland>td1pat.arc /* fix for td386 */ They need a program called patch.com which I also had but I don't know where I got it (I doesn't seem to be at simtel20). The format of the patch files is easy so you could probably use debug. thanks, bruce bruce Wilson | "what you don't spend you don't have to earn..." zeexsun@watshine.waterloo.edu | from Blake (a film by Bill Mason)
