ddd cannot find the source code

[Kuo-Hsien Chang]

Dear all,

Here is my procedure to use ddd with idb.
(1) compile the code using these ifort options: -extend-source 132 -O0 -g -save-temps -fpic -Wl,-no_pie
(2) run the DDD with idb: ddd --ladebug --debugger idb my_program

I got the messages from DDD:
The DDD GUI window showed the following messages:
GNU DDD 3.3.12 (i386-apple-darwin12.1.0), by Dorothea LIntel(R) Debugger for applications running on Intel(R) 64, Version 12.1, Build [76.205.11]

I was wondering if my_program did not carry on the path of the source code.

What is the solution? Thanks for helping me on this.

Cheers,
Michael

Assuming that ibis uses "MAIN" as the entry point (not _main as in C); symbols are case sensitive,
it looks like the debug symbols weren't found.

Did you link your program with -g as well as compiling it with -g ?
