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

  • Split source files or use -q64
    

Problem summary

  • PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Debug data line number tables missing when
    compiling files with a large number of source lines larger than
    64k lines.
    
    USERS AFFECTED: Compiling really large source files with -g and
    stabstrings with 32 bit mode.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Problem is fixed. Original issue of dbx assertion message is
    gone.
    

Temporary fix
