Debugging

Linked programs can be debugged with the AID Advanced Interactive Debugger. This is conditional on the availability of debugging information (LSD) generated by the compiler when invoked with the -g option (see section "Debugger option").

To activate the AID debugger, you use the POSIX command debug program-name [arguments] at a BS2000 terminal.
After you enter this command, the BS2000 environment will be your current environment, as indicated by the %DEBUG/ prompt. In this mode you can enter debugging commands as described in the “AID” manual [8] . When you terminate the program, your current environment will again be the POSIX shell.

The debug command is described in the “POSIX Commands” manual [29].
