HP Debuggers

[Harini_1]

Can the q4 HP Debugger be used to to analyze core dumps from any application or is it more suitable to kernal core dumps as most of the documentation i could find on this seems to suggest.
In what way does it differ from gdb, wdb etc..

Hi harini,

From what I understand is that Q4 is used to Analyze System Dump Files. HP-UX crashes, system firmware saves critical O/S state info in RAM to the swap LVOL or a dump device.

Hope this helps,

q4 is used to debug kernel dumps. Don't think it can be used to debug application dumps.

You better see application documentation for which tools to be used to debug.
