Useful when debugging editors and shells. Set to off to gain a slight speed advantage. The setting is irrelevant if dbx is attached to the program being debugged or is running under Sun WorkShop.

When set to on , dbx attempts to find and automatically pop up to a stack frame with source when the program being debugged comes to a stop in a function that is not compiled with -g . Governs the printing of arguments and line information in where . When set to on , allows breakpoints while stepping and nexting. When set to line a single next command executes the code. The granularity of line is particularly useful when dealing with multiline macros.
