19.0. "PROBLEM - MCC_DEB> DEPOSIT INP impossible." by KETJE::MCC () Thu Oct 05 1989 18:24

    I am trying to follow the example page 5-17 in the Toolkit reference
    manual for the DEPOSIT INP command.
    
    After 
    MCC_TBD> DEPOSIT INP
    (   <return>
    
    My process crashes (access violation).
    
    Some other forms of input didn't crashed my process, but gave no effect
    for the INP parameter because an EXAMINE /INP shows me nothing.
    
    I am sure that I am not the first with this problem, bus is there now a
    workaround ? How can I put something in the INP argument ?
    
    Regards,
    Dominique.

19.2	MCC_TBD/DBG doesn't show <my_AM> until it is called	TRADE::ASHRAF	Gone today, here tomorrow	`Wed Jun 27 1990 15:31`	20
	I am having a problem debugging my AM, and hope you can help me. I am using TBD with the /DEB option. I am in a catch 22 situation. When I enter "MCC_TBD> BREAK" and "DBG> SHOW IMAGE" my image doesn't show up (contrary to the description in the Debugging Manual, Sec. 4.4, "Debugging Shareable Images"). I need to "DBG> SET IMAGE" and "DBG> SET MODULE" before I can "SET BREAKPOINT ...". The only way I know how to make my AM image known to the debugger is by DEPOSITs and CALL ACCESS from TBD. However, when I do that, my AM crashes with ACCVIO and I can't continue the session. Is there a way to "SET IMAGE my_AM" so I can set the breakpoints before doing a "CALL ACCESS"? Help!!! Muhammad
19.3	lib$signal	DANZO::CARR		`Tue Jul 03 1990 20:15`	9
	re: .2 Use lib$signal(ss$_debug) just after your entry point, this will cause control to be passed to the debugger immediately on entry into your AM image. Hope this helps, Dan
19.4	lib$signal(SS$_DEBUG) works!	TRADE::ASHRAF	Gone today, here tomorrow	`Tue Jul 03 1990 21:21`	14
	Dan, Your suggestion about lib$signal(SS$_DEBUG) worked!!! One tidbit from Ruth, that may be useful to those using TBD, is that enrolling an AM (even though it may have previously been enrolled) makes the AM image appear in the "DBG> SHOW IMAGE" list. It will then work as documented in the Debugger Manual, Shareable Image section. Thanks for the pointers! Muhammad
