APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
DBX asserts with V11.1 XL C/C++ compiled binary while loading it into dbx. However, loading is successful and debugging can carry on despite of the assertion error. DBX loads the V10.1 compiled binary without the error message. $ dbx a.out Type 'help' for help. reading symbolic information ... internal error: assertion failed at line 5618 in file object.c (dbx) print &__start 0x100001a0 (dbx) quit The binary is compiled from many large source files that exceeds 64K lines of source in each file on 32-bit AIX.
Local fix
Use -q64 or trim source files within 64K lines.
Problem summary
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incocnsistent data makes it impossible for the linker and debugger to find the line number tables. USERS AFFECTED: Users with source files line numbers >64k in 32 bit mode
Problem conclusion
Problem is fixed. DBX does not emit the warning messages any more. However, whenever line numbers >64K lines in 32 bit mode, debug data is incomplete. Users should make source file line numbers < 64K lines if complete debug data is needed in 32 bit mode.
Temporary fix
