- To all Jasik debugger users,
-
- Seasons Greeting,
-
- I have posted a patch file to 'The Debugger' in the
- 'Debugger Discussion' form.

- Developer talk:
- Debugger discussion:
- The Debugger discussion:12/11/92 Jasik patch file
-
- A) It contains a newer version of PatchLink that supports
- segments > 64K and no longer loses the types of local vars
- in C and C++ programs that are of the form '^^structName'.
-
- -------
-
- B) It patches the 10/4/92 version of The Debugger and
- fixes the following problems (newest fixes last):
-
- 1) Debugger hung when reading a SYM file with C++ names.
-
- 2) When using System 7.1 with a large number of open files,
- The Debugger would blow up when deleting a task.
- It was overwriting one of it's internal tables.
-
- 3) If the name of a procedure exceeded 63 characters, then
- The Debugger blew up when one did a 'command-click' in the source window.
-
- 4) When booting with 'PC Exchange' or QuickDraw GX installed,
- INITs which used CurApName+8 as a flag for Macsbug would blowup.
-
- 5) Debugger blows up on 256K ROM Macs (II, IIx, IIcx, SE/30) when
- when running with System 7.1
-
- 6) Revised handling of the interaction between ObjectMaster & the
- MPW Shell or ToolServer so ObjectMaster is the primary 'Shell'
-
- 7) Revised handling of Think C V5 projects so Debugger doesn't blow up
- when processing their symbol table.
-
- 8) Add a new message so that bus Errors at Boot time are less
- mysterious.
-
- 9) adds logic to support OCE
-
- 10) adds support for ThC V6-Alpha 1
-
- 11) May fix problems on Quadra's with AppleShare active
-
- ooo ALSO ooo
-
- There is a conflict with the new CD-ROM V4 software and The Debugger.
- I have tracked it down, and the next release of The Debugger will
- contain a fix to xDbgr_Startup.
-
- For now, the way to fix the problem is to load The Debugger BEFORE
- Foreign File Access by renaming 'xDbgr_Startup' to '!xDbgr_Startup' or such.
