There are some preliminarily code for this purpose, though it is not completed yet. With the patch below, line directives are activated in the intermediate C code, and gdb will find your COBOL files if you compile them with option `-g': --- cobc/codegen.c.~1.244.~ Fri Mar 15 02:52:54 2002 +++ cobc/codegen.c Wed Apr 3 11:24:35 2002 @@ -109,7 +109,7 @@ { if (x->loc.text) { - //output ("#line %d \"%s\"\n", x->loc.first_line, x->loc.text); + output ("#line %d \"%s\"\n", x->loc.first_line, x->loc.text); output_line ("cob_source_line = %d;", x->loc.first_line); } } Note that this patch does not cover all COBOL lines, and thus not very useful yet. For now, it is better to generate C code with option -C, compile it by using gcc with option -g, and trace the C code. I am going to implement better debugging support after writing some documentation in English. Regards, Keisuke Nishida
