Q38951: QuickC Version 2.00 Supports CodeView Information

Article: Q38951
Product(s): See article

QuickC Version 2.00 contains support for CodeView's symbolic
information in the QuickC environment. If you choose the Options
menu and the "Make" selection, you will get a pop-up menu that will
allow you to choose the compilation flags. Once you have chosen the
<compiler flags> selection, you can set the Option for CodeView
information. This process will allow you to use the debugger within
QuickC as well as using the same executable in CodeView, thus
eliminating a required recompilation by the QCL command line compiler.

If you intend to use CodeView on your QuickC executable, you will have
to ensure that you have disabled the Incremental Compile and the
Incremental Link options. The Incremental Compile option is found
under <compiler flags> selection. The Incremental Link option can be
found under <linker flags> selection.

The current CodeView release is unable to understand Incrementally
compiled/linked executables. If you try to use CodeView on an EXE file
that was Incrementally compiled and/or linked, you will be unable to
trace through the code. The trace will "fall" through to the end of
your program.
