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

ok I did a bit or reading and managed to solve my problem. It is basically using the run command and typing in the args

i.e.
Code:
(dbx) run -h -p < input > output
Running: a.out
(dbx)\
