So, on the eve before my computer architecture mid-term, I decided to do the
obvious - play with my new BC++. This leads to:
a) Is there any way to get turbo debug to work with stuff generated by MSC?
I have a windows program written in MSC 6.00a, and would like to keep using
MSC. However, I would like to try out TDW. Yes, I read the manual best I
could so I did the following:
a) ran TDCONVRT on my .exe file which has codeview info (ie, I can debug
using codeview for windows). I also ran tdmap using
tdmap -w xxx.map xxx.exe. I could find no docs on tdmap in the manuals.
b) I ran TDW, but it displays my stuff in assembly. I did set the
Languages option to C and even set the source directory. But it insists
on displaying my code in assembly.
Is it possible, then, to do source level debugging using MSC 6.00a and
TDW?
b) I used TDW in two monitor mode, with TDW running on the mono. I can type go
on my MSC executable, it runs fine etc. When I quit my app, and then quit
TDW, my mouse cursor has mysteriously disappeared. To be honest, though, I
am running Windows in 800x600x16 mode. However, after quiting TDW,
everything, *including the mouse*, works fine; its just the mouse cursor
that has vanished. I know the mouse works because I can click on my desktop
and bring backmenu up.
c) Lastly, am I doing something wrong, or is the whitewater resource toolkit
a model memory hogger and slower than Dan Quayle? It takes about 10 secs to
even draw its first window when I run it (on a 386-20, 64K cache, 8Meg, 17ms
harddrive, pc-cache disk caching program). Next, I opened its own executable
up (ie, opened up wrt.exe) and modified one of its cursors. When I tried to
save the file, it kept going for about 10 secs before declaring out of
memory). Windows otherwise shows 24 Meg free.
d) One more thing: can anyone review *real quickly* what was covered in comp.
architecture in the past two weeks? ;-)
Thanks!
