RE: [photran] Debugging question

["Hilliard, Bill" <bill.hilliard@xxxxxxxxx>]

The debug launch configuration has 'Stop on start up at: main' enabled by default.  You can either keep that setting and use 'step into' after your session stops at main() to enter your Fortran code, or you can turn off 'Stop on start up at: main' in the launch configuration settings and set a break point in your Fortran code where you want to stop.

If you choose to modify the launch configuration, find the debug button (it looks like a beetle with a down pointing caret beside it).  Click on the caret and a drop down menu will appear.  On the menu choose 'Debug Configurations...'.  This will open a view where you can modify settings for any launch configurations you have created.  In the left pane, select your debug configuration if it is not already selected by default.  In the right pane, select the 'Debugger' tab to see the debugger settings.  Uncheck the box for 'Stop on start up at: main' and then click 'Apply' to save the change.  Then click 'Debug' if you want to start debugging immediately, or 'Close' if not.

If this is your first time looking at launch configurations, I suggest looking around at some of the other information you can set from here.  For example, you can do things like define program command line arguments here if need be (see the 'Arguments' tab) or set up environment variables if you need to (see 'Environment' tab), etc.

Hope this helps...Bill

Subject: [photran] Debugging question

Hi there,

I have another newbie question about debugging. I have my stuff running 
under Ubuntu 8.04 with Eclipse 3.4.1, Photran 4.0.5 and Intel Fortran 
Compiler 11. I am able to import my source code, build the project and 
run it perfectly. I am also able to set breakpoints and run the 
debugger. My problem however is in the debugger, I am unable to see the 
variables. When the breakpoint is reached, the program stops as 
expected. However, in the debugger view, a new pane (3 main() 
0x080449d10) is opened in the editor which has the following info:

No source available for "main() "

and a View Dissassembly button.

In the variables pane, there is nothing listed. When I click on the 
select global variables button, I get a long list of variables, some of 
which I can understand (subRoutineName_varName), but most I don't 
recongize. More over, when I select the ones I do recongize, there are 
no values, even if they have been initialized and 'played' with. This 
occurs no matter how I set up the Fortran project (Executable - Empty 
project, Executable (Inter(R) Fortran), Makefile project - Empty 
project) or the thread level which is selected in the debug pane.

Any help would be much appreciated since the debugger was the main 
reason for me trying out Photran...

Robert
