Assuming that the file data is still in the current directory, you can compile
and run the program as follows:
Where Did My Program Fail?
SPARCompiler Pascal can trace why a program failed; its traceback utility
finds the routine that triggers the error.
Using Pascal Traceback
Pascal traceback installs signal handlers on selected signals and dumps a
backtrace when those signals are caught. The backtrace shows the chain of
calls leading from the routine in which the error occurred, all the way back to
the main program.
Pascal catches the following set of signals:
See the signal (3) man page for further information on these signals.
After the system produces the traceback, it continues with whatever action it
would have taken if the interposer had not been in place, including calling a
user signal handler that was previously set.
The traceback facility uses the debugger dbx . To obtain a traceback,
SPARCworks must be installed on your system, and the directory containing
dbx must be in your PATH environment variable. If the traceback routine
cannot find dbx , it does not produce the traceback.
Use the -notrace command-line option to disable traceback.
