Debugger Problem

[dschwarz]

System is AlphaServer 800 running OpenVMS 7.3-2.
After installing the latest patch set VMS732_UPDATE-V1500 incl. VMS732_DEBUG-V0100 we get

%DEBUG-E-INTERR, debugger error in DBGADDEXP\DETERMINE_TYPE unknown arg type or session corruption

when we try to EXAMINE a FORTRAN record.
Used Fortran version is Compaq Fortran V7.4B-1684

[Wim Van den Wyngaert · Accepted solution]

EXAMINE of a FORTRAN field within a
structure definition would cause the debugger to print: %DEBUG-E-INTERR, debugger error in DBGADDEXP\DETERMINE_TYPE unknown arg type or session corruption.

Solved in 8.3 debug v200.

Make that 8.2.

Upgrading to 8.x ist not (yet) an option.

The problem did not exist with 7.3-2 and patches incl. VMS732_UPDATE-V1400.

[Wim Van den Wyngaert]

The debugger was included in your upgrade. Note that these are rather old images of 2006. The correction was made in 2007 but not (yet) backported. May be ask HP for a patch ?

Our "solution" return to previous state by using backup.

I wonder why hp publishes a patch with a known bug (or is it a feature?).
