When you quit debugging, a message reminds you to rebuild your program. If you invoke the fix command with an option other than -a and without a file name argument, only the current modified source file is fixed. When fix is invoked, the current working directory of the file that was current at the time of compilation is searched before executing the compilation line. There might be problems locating the correct directory due to a change in the file system structure from compilation time to debugging time. To avoid this problem, use the command pathmap , which creates a mapping from one path name to another.
Mapping is applied to source paths and object file paths.
Continuing After Fixing You can continue executing using the cont command. Before resuming program execution, be aware of the following conditions that determine the effect of your changes. Using the run command is faster because it does not relink the program. Not Yet Called If you have made changes in a function not yet called, the changes will be in effect when that function is called. If the change is in code that is yet to be executed, the new code is run.
