dbx debugger + argv[argc]
Is it possible to use the dbx debugger with the CL options for the executable ?
Say you have created a executable called myfunc which can take string arguments at run-time. You run it like this
./myfunc Hello World
where Hello and World are the string arguments
My question is whether the dbx debugger can accept these string arguments as part of the debugging process.
i.e.
would
dbx myfunc Hello World
enable me to properly debug myfunc with Hello and World being passed into main() ?
many thanks

DL(3) Library Functions Manual DL(3)
NAME
DL - generate logging messages in C and C++ using a debugger
SYNOPSIS
#include <DL.h>
DL(format,...)
DLG(guard,format,...)
DLH(handler,format,...)
DLP(param,format,...)
DLGH(guard,handler,format,...)
DLHP(handler,param,format,...)
DLGHP(guard,handler,param,format,...)
DESCRIPTION
The DL macro is used to print logging or debugging messages using a debugger. The nana(1) command generates a set of debugger commands
which are then sourced into gdb(1) to implement the logging. If you don't run the executable under gdb(1) then no tracing will occur. The
arguments are:
format,... - a printf(3) style argument list containing the message
guard - print only if the guard is true.
handler - the code that does the printing. Default: fprintf
param - a parameter to be passed off to the handler. Default: stdout
See nana.info for details on configuring the behaviour.
SEE ALSO
nana-clg(1), nana(1), nana(3), I(3), DI(3), L(3), DL(3), Q(3) and nana.info.
The nana.info file is the primary documentation for this library.
