HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20) includes an Itanium-based version of WDB (/opt/langtools/bin/gdb), a debugger for C, C++, Fortran and assembly language. This version will only work on native Itanium-based applications (programs compiled for HP-UX on Itanium-based systems). gdb command functionality on Itanium-based systems is the same as on PA based systems except for:

  • the -tui mode. On PA based systems this provides a terminal interface similar to xdb. On HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20), gdb will only have a line mode interface. A graphical user interface will be available in a later release.

  • run-time heap checking. The features in the 2.1 release of WDB on PA-based systems that detected memory leaks and heap problems are not available in this release.

  • fix-and-continue. The fix-and-continue features introduced in the 2.1 release of WDB are not available in this release.
