what is .i file?

Hi(not sure I posted in the right place),

While I tried to use dbx to debug a core file, it reported that dbx can't
find some sort of .i file. Anyone knows what it is and how to get/generate?
I have all .o files but didn't see any .i file.

(/opt/SUNWspro/bin/../WS6/bin/sparcv9/dbx) module -v
Module: xxxxx.o
Language: c++
Debugging information: read [stabs version: 6.0]
Source file (original): /loads/xxxxx.i
Source file (using): cannot find file (see `help pathmap')
Object file: /loads/xxxxx.o
Loadobject: /loads/bin/xyz

(/opt/SUNWspro/bin/../WS6/bin/sparcv9/dbx)

Thanks in advanced,

Luke

..i sometimes is used for an intermediate file of pre-processed source.
Consult your compiler documentation or a Sun specific NG FAQ to confirm
this. Did you follow the advice about the help command?

Intermediate file between the C preprocessor and the C compiler. It has all
#defines and #includes expanded, and #ifs decided.

Actually, the .i file is usually only written when the preprocessor output
is requested. Normally the data between the preprocessor and the later
phases of the compiler are bufferred elsewhere.

Hi!

The only problem is that I wind up with having to print two...

Hi All, I know that if you modify the web.config file or any file in the App_Code subfolder, that ASP.net 2.0 will "restart" the application (i.e. clear out any sessions, etc...). Are there any other changes that restart the application? Will modify a code-behind .cs/.vb which calls a class in the App_Code folder restart the application?

I wrote an app that alerts a user who attempts to open a file that the file is currently in use. It works fine except when the file is opened by Notepad. If a text file is opened, most computers are configured to use Notepad to open the file by default and if they are configured to use Notepad by default I want it to remain that way rather than retrieve the text into my app or force the user to use another app to read the file. I'm...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
