Regarding the usage of "-g" compilation in 11.23 IA

[V_4]

hi
I want to load certain datastructures in the kernel for debugging purposes. The present code works fine in 11.23 PA systems. But now, with a crash dump,Iam unable to load my symbols through q4. Do I need to use any other compiler option other than '-g' ?
thanks
V.

HI

The Q4 debugger reference documentation comes as part of the Q4 fileset, OS-Core.Q4, which is installed by default as part of the OS Core product. The documentation is in the file /usr/contrib/doc/Q4Docs.tar.Z.

To access the documentation, enter the following commands, as super-user (root):

# cd /usr/contrib/doc
# uncompress Q4Docs.tar.Z
tar xvf Q4Docs.tar

This extracts the following four Postscript documents:
