I’m using the dwarf debug format as I was getting a “Seg too large…” error
from wcc, which I understand is from the debug sym table overflowing.
So, the dwarf format works, except that I can’t view global data, or, static
local data.
Anyone know of a workaround/fix/etc…?
Thanks, Bruce.

Thanks, Bruce.

OK, tried the latest patches from quics, same binary dates as I already had.
No difference.
The June CD is shipping a 1997 release compiler?
I’m also using stack based calling convention (option -5s),
as I need to interface with gcc generated code.

your versions above are the same that i am using. if you have a test case
that can’t show you globals please let me take a look.

you’re right. strange.
it only can’t reference buf and x with -gd2. with regular watcom debug -g it
works okay.
but you can still see the global ptr…
i’ve put this in as a problem report… we’ll have to see what the group can
do.

OK, thanks, I can’t ask for more than that.
I’ll be waiting, in the mean time, printf…
