Has anyone had the pleasure of trying to debug an xview program with dbxtool. Maybe it is just my setup but I am running an IPC with fullup SunOS 4.1.1 straight off the tape. The problem is that when I set a breakpoint inside one of my callbacks, it stops all right, the whole damn window manager locks up! I suspect (hopefully incorrectly) that this is due to the implementation of event handling through a central "notifier" and that the notifier is perhaps "hung" waiting on the event I trapped to finish? Is this the problem? Any work arounds? I haven't tried it with straight dbx, but I've seen the exact same thing with adb. How are we supposed to debug xview applications without a debugger? deano@raistlin.udev.cdc.com
