Hi,
If we want to debug a shell script, then set -vx has to be included in the begining of the script. Just i want to know what purpose -vx is used.
Thanks in advace

Hi i want to debug the C program with GDB debugger. I want to debug the program by line by line. I want to debug program like as we debug the program in Turbo-C using the F8. Can any one help me?
I know i have to use single stepping. But i don't know how to use it. Any help can be appreciated..... (5 Replies)
is there any way you can add a breakpoint in a script so you can stop on it?
i have used -xv in my shebang but the script just runs and i want it to stop at a specific point in the script.
appreciate any help. (1 Reply)
hey
i have a problem with a switch case in program and the debugger is messy has hell ( we use normal VI and gdb in our schoool to make it more diffiacult)

tcl_exprstring
Tcl_ExprLong(3) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_ExprLong(3)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
Tcl_ExprLong, Tcl_ExprDouble, Tcl_ExprBoolean, Tcl_ExprString - evaluate an expression
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
int
Tcl_ExprLong(interp, string, longPtr)
int
Tcl_ExprDouble(interp, string, doublePtr)
int
Tcl_ExprBoolean(interp, string, booleanPtr)
int
Tcl_ExprString(interp, string)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter in whose context to evaluate string or objPtr. |
CONST char *string (in) |
Expression to be evaluated.
long *longPtr (out) Pointer to location in which to store the integer value of the expression.
int *doublePtr (out) Pointer to location in which to store the floating-point value of the expression.
int *booleanPtr (out) Pointer to location in which to store the 0/1 boolean value of the expression.
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
These four procedures all evaluate the expression given by the string argument and return the result in one of four different forms. The
expression can have any of the forms accepted by the expr command. Note that these procedures have been largely replaced by the object-
based procedures Tcl_ExprLongObj, Tcl_ExprDoubleObj, Tcl_ExprBooleanObj, and Tcl_ExprObj. Those object-based procedures evaluate an
expression held in a Tcl object instead of a string. The object argument can retain an internal representation that is more efficient to
execute.
The interp argument refers to an interpreter used to evaluate the expression (e.g. for variables and nested Tcl commands) and to return
error information.
For all of these procedures the return value is a standard Tcl result: TCL_OK means the expression was successfully evaluated, and
TCL_ERROR means that an error occurred while evaluating the expression. If TCL_ERROR is returned then the interpreter's result will hold a
message describing the error. If an error occurs while executing a Tcl command embedded in the expression then that error will be
returned.
If the expression is successfully evaluated, then its value is returned in one of four forms, depending on which procedure is invoked.
Tcl_ExprLong stores an integer value at *longPtr. If the expression's actual value is a floating-point number, then it is truncated to an
integer. If the expression's actual value is a non-numeric string then an error is returned.
Tcl_ExprDouble stores a floating-point value at *doublePtr. If the expression's actual value is an integer, it is converted to floating-
point. If the expression's actual value is a non-numeric string then an error is returned.
Tcl_ExprBoolean stores a 0/1 integer value at *booleanPtr. If the expression's actual value is an integer or floating-point number, then
they store 0 at *booleanPtr if the value was zero and 1 otherwise. If the expression's actual value is a non-numeric string then it must
be one of the values accepted by Tcl_GetBoolean such as ``yes'' or ``no'', or else an error occurs.
Tcl_ExprString returns the value of the expression as a string stored in the interpreter's result. If the expression's actual value is an
integer then Tcl_ExprString converts it to a string using sprintf with a ``%d'' converter. If the expression's actual value is a floating-
point number, then Tcl_ExprString calls Tcl_PrintDouble to convert it to a string.
