X-Hacker.org- Watcom Debugger Guide - it may be necessary to prevent the watcom debugger from using the 386/486 http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
It may be necessary to prevent the Watcom Debugger from using the 386/486
Debug Registers (a hardware feature used to assist debugging).  This
situation arises with certain DOS control programs that do not properly
manage Debug Registers.  If the Watcom Debugger fails upon startup on a
386/486 system, it is a good indication that use of the Debug Registers must
be disabled.  With "STD.TRP", the trap file parameter "d" may be specified
to disable the use of Debug Registers.  The following example illustrates
the specification of the "d" trap file parameter.

Example:

     C>wd /trap=std;d calendar
