1841.0. "Debug 7.1 doesn't like Ada literals?" by KMOOSE::CMCCUTCHEON (Charlie McCutcheon) Tue Mar 04 1997 16:13

I noticed this running tests on Alpha VMS 7.1.

Simple program:

procedure T is
    i : integer;
begin
    i := 1;
end;

(I tried a C program, figuring I could merely "set lang Ada", but
found a wierd result where I could examine my variable, but trying
to deposit got a "%DEBUG-E, symbol 'I' is not in the symbol table"
message!)

$ acs cre lib [.adalib]
$ acs set lib [.adalib]
$ ada /noopt/debug t.ada
$ acs link /deb t
$ run t

         OpenVMS Alpha DEBUG Version V7.1-000

%DEBUG-I, Language: C, Module: T
%DEBUG-I, Type GO to reach MAIN program
...
DBG> deposit I := 2#1111_1111#
%DEBUG-E, invalid numeric string '2#1111_1111#'
DBG> deposit I := 10E6
%DEBUG-E, invalid numeric string '10E6'


Same program works under V6.1-000 Debug (admitingly older!).

Please contact me if you want this QAR'd somewhere, and where...

Yes, I agree.  It looks like support for Ada literals has been broken.  Sigh.

Please submit a qar.  Directions in note 834.2.
