Do any one of you know something about the following DBX topics:
1 - There is a debugger variable named "$tagfile". The help
tell me that the variable contains the name of the file
to search for tags in for the tag command and tagvalue macro.
I assume here that the word "tag" refer to object tag (struct,
union & enum) which names this kind of object, and can be used
subsequently as a shorthand for the part of the declaration.
Is the purpose of the tag command is to let me cast a variable,
for example with the print command, which type is not part of
the basic data types supported by the C language ( char, int,
long, etc ... ) ? I have not been able to figure out how
to use this command.
2 - There is an other debugger variable named "$manual_load".
The help does not tell anything about it. Is it possible,
somehow with this variable, once you invoke dbx with the object
file, to reload an other object file within dbx ?
Thank you in advance
