Q44449: QuickC 2.00 Debugger Does Not Support Huge Pointers/Model

Article: Q44449
Product(s): See article
Version(s): 2.00
Operating System(s): MS-DOS

The QuickC Version 2.00 debugger does not support the huge-memory
model. It does not supply any information regarding huge pointers,
even if the specified model is large, not huge.

The debugger allows a watch to be placed on the pointer, but instead
of supplying useful values, the following message appears in the debug
window as soon as the variable is declared:

   image: <Debugger does not support huge model>

This is intentional program design for the product.
