So I dug out my old code from aeons ago and put them to the test on
X86_64's C, Pascal and Fortran compilers.

C hasn't aged well - something for me to sort :-D
Pascal, most programs were fine, but see my notes later on in this e-
mail.
Fortran - beautiful. Works a treat

I needed to debug one of my old Pascal programs. so I issued the the
following to compile, link and run with DEBUG:

$ pas/debug/noopt rec.pas
$ link/debug rec
$ run rec
%DEBUG-I-INFODWARF, error reading Dwarf info: user-defined attribute
code: 2134
%DEBUG-I-INFODWARF, error reading Dwarf info: unrecognized attribute
code: 88
%DEBUG-I-INFODWARF, error reading Dwarf info: end-of-list attribute
paired with non-EOL form

OpenVMS x86-64 Debug64 Version V9.2-001

%DEBUG-I-INITIAL, Language: UNKNOWN, Module: SHARE$DCL_FIXUP8

Strange. What did I get wrong? Any magic incantions I need to utter?

Thanks,
Alex

Some PASCAL & DEBUG issues reported on the VSI forums which John R has acknowledged. Report this one and await a fix.

The LLVM backend generates some additional DWARF tags that the debugger was not expecting. Most can be ignored but we
need to handle a few of them. The debugger in the upcoming V9.2-1 release will be much quieter and better.

That said, we're still working on Pascal (and others) to get parity on debug support between Itanium and x86.

Fair enough, I'll look forward to that.

I will, as soon as I can figure out how to access the VSI forums. I got
my invitation last weekend and I now have acess to the VSI service
portal and can download files. The VSI forums still remain out of reach
as it apparently won't accept the credentials I used to access the VSI
service portal.

You can read without login.

To post you need an account in the forum system, which I assume
is different from any other account as it is based on phpBB software,

https://forum.vmssoftware.com/ has a "register" link at the top.

Finally! I've managed to sort it. I suppose I must have messed up the
password when registering. Anyway, I reset it and set a new password
and all is well.
