Re: [open-cobol-list] cobc Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[Brian Tiffin]

Micheal; Without seeing any code yet, you'll likely get better messages using

cobc -v -g -debug -x -free -ffunctions-all

Adding in the -g and -debug.  It should then crap out with a better
message and leave source files around for gdb stepping.  (gdb requires
the .c files to show source lines, and sadly I haven't yet put in the
compiler code to allow stepping .cob source lines intermixed with the
.c code that is actually running in the binary).

If that doesn't work out, we can talk about listing the COBOL sources.

Cheers,
Brian
