Beginning with Debug Tool for z/OS, Version 9.1, with the
PTF for APAR PK74749 applied, Debug Tool changed how it handled pointers
in C/C++ programs to better match the semantics of C/C++. The following
commands were affected by this change:
- An AT CHANGE command that references a pointer. For
example, AT CHANGE p.
- Previous behavior
- Debug Tool stops when p changes.
- New behavior
- Debug Tool stops when the value of what p points to changes.
- A LIST STORAGE command that references a pointer. For
example, LIST STORAGE(p,0,4).
- Previous behavior
- Debug Tool displays the contents of p.
- New behavior
- Debug Tool displays the contents of what p points to.
- A MEMORY command that references a pointer.
For example, MEMORY p.
- Previous behavior
- Debug Tool displays the contents of p.
- New behavior
- Debug Tool displays the contents of what p points to.
- A STORAGE command that references a pointer. For example, STORAGE(p,0,4).
- Previous behavior
- Debug Tool changes the contents of p
- New behavior
- Debug Tool changes the contents of what p points to.
