Known Limitations

This section describes known limitations in this release of HP WDB.

The feature does not obtain the thread-error information in batch mode for forked process in a multiprocessing application. However, if the librtc.sl library is pre-loaded, the debugger obtains the thread-error information in the batch mode for exec-ed application.
You cannot specify an alternate output directory for the thread-error log. The thread-error log file is output into the current working directory only.
HP WDB cannot execute both batch mode thread check and batch mode heap check together. If the rtcconfig file has both entries, then batch heap check overrides the batch thread check.

On PA-RISC systems for 32-bit and 64-bit applications, printing of local variable values may be inaccurate for +O1 and higher optimizations.




	NOTE: HP WDB 5.9 contains limited debugging support for optimized PA-RISC 32-bit applications and even more limited support for debugging optimized code (DOC) on PA-RISC 64-bit applications. Additionally, the debugging support becomes limited as higher levels of compiler optimization are used.
