Sun dbx++ syntax error

[George Wu]

It seems the Sun C++ extended dbx (dbx++, as I've taken to calling it),
likes to complain about a syntax error when I try to print out local
variables.  The necessary conditions for this phony error message are
still non-deterministic to me, but fiddling with the source code and
re-compiling sometimes helps.  Right now, my workaround is use the dump
command to get all local variables.  This is rather slow.

Does anyone know the cause of this?  Or does anyone have a workaround, or
better yet, is there a fix?  Yeah, I'll call the technical support people
if no one out in netland knows the answer offhand.

Oh yeah, the various configuration parameters are Sun SPARCstation, SunOS
4.0.3, and Sun C++ 2.0.  Thanks much in advance.

PS: Please email responses you post only to comp.sys.sun.  I don't
normally read it.  Thanks again.
