The following defects are fixed in HP WDB 5.9:

  • The disable command produces misleading information for multi-threaded programs.

  • The pxdb fails with an out of memory error message while reading files of size 2 GB.

  • WDB incorrectly reports heap object registered with different size when an application is compiled with +check=bounds:pointer to perform out of bounds check.

  • WDB incorrectly reports value of thread-local variable.

  • The next command fails to step into a forked child process.

  • WDB does not recognize pack core filenames with extensions other than .tar.Z. If the application is compiled with +check=memory, it crashes while WDB attempts to print the memory information.

  • Batch RTC fails even when the output_dir command is set and the current working directory does not have write permission.

  • WDB is unable to perform Java debugging.

  • GDB crashes while printing the type and value of the structure member of array type with array of size MAX_INT_32.

  • GDB crashes while reading the elf large section details of the application that contains large number of sections.

  • GDB crashes while printing the type of the member function of the class whose function name is similar to that of function name in standard libraries.

  • Occassional gdb crash with batch mode thread check when application aborts. On running batch mode thread check on applications that crash or if Ctrl-C is executed while the application is running, gdb crashes.

  • Occassional hang with batch mode thread check, when the application has an incorrect usage of pthread_cond_wait()() call.
