I discovered PalmDebugger in the 3.5 SDK and decided to see what I
could do with it. The heap dump (hd) command has proven to be very
useful in helping to eliminate memory leaks.
Then I tried to use the source level debugging feature. This does not
appear to be working. If I use the Source->Load Symbols menu item, I
get this in the Debugger window:
error: unknown lexeme
sym \add
^
If I use the Source->Install Database and Load Symbols menu item, up
pops a file chooser dialog. I select my PRC file, hit OK, and then
after a period of time that seems about right for downloading the PRC
file to POSE, I get this:
error: unknown lexeme
sym \addprc "E:\\projects\\Lightning\\Lightning.prc
^
and the Console window shows
E:\projects\Lightning\Lightning.prc
Creating Database on card 0
name: Lightning
type appl, creator rcLi
Corrupt database
After encountering these problems, I then noticed something that had up
to now escaped my attention. When I launch PalmDebugger, it prints out
a string of "Initializing ..." messages in the Debugger window. Among
them appeared this:
Loading startup script...
CmdRunScript: error opening file UserStartup-PalmDebugger
I searched all of the SDK, and couldn't find any file named UserStartup-
PalmDebugger. I created an empty file of that name in the PalmDebugger
directory, and that got rid of the error message, but I still get the
"unknown lexeme" errors.
Nothing I can find in the Knowledge Base sheds any light on this. Has
anybody gotten PalmDebugger working and can toss me a few clues?
Thanks.
