Re: Local variable does not appear in CW debugger window

[Sean Charles]

Once upon a time, a VAX debugger informed me 'Variable has been optimized away' when I tried to print it. Have you got any level of optimization turned on? Inside the loop the value of flags is constant, it smells like not only has the compiler unrolled some of the loop it's unloaded some of your variables in the process. For debugging you should turn off all optimisations for a true WYSIWYT (...typed!) epxerience.

record->fields[index] = p;
p += StrLen(p) + 1;

record->fields[index] = NULL;
