Hi Marlon - A quick glance at the documentation last night let me in on this secret. Of course, now with all of the debug information and such, my simple, 400-line program is now compiling to just under a megabyte, which is incredible. I wonder whether it would be smaller if I used a true DOS compiler, considering I'm only using console i/o right now. At any rate, I'll let you know if I have further questions. Graham. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Marlon Brandão de Sousa Sent: September 12, 2007 5:19 AM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Debugging programs. It seen that you did not compiled ypour program with debug informations so the debugger was not able to show you the code point where the bug probably ocurred. I don't know the djgpp interface but you should find what switch includes debug info in the code. The g++ use the -g switch to do that.
