Hi All,

I have a curiosity. On HP-UX, if you want to debug shared libraries,
you have to use 'pxdb -s on' to get the system loader to map a shared
library into a private segment of the process.

How is the same acheived on AIX? I look at all the docs...

Thanks. Sincerely, George

No you don't. If you run the app under the debugger from the start,
it will arrange for libraries to be privately mapped on its own.

You only have to do 'pdxb' if you want to attach to already
running process and only if you want to set breakpoints in the
shared libraries.

On AIX (and the rest of widely used UNIX systems) no such limitation
exists to begin with; so nothing at all needs to be done to work
around it.
