"bad_ancestry" from dbx?

I got the following mysterious message when I tried setting a break point from debugger in Workshop. Does anyone know what this really means? I used a

differentl diagnosing scheme to isolate the problem that I was trying to solve

with that breakpoint.

(dbx) stop change ((void **)sauxProcHashTable)[1020]

dbx: bad ancestry for "race_func.o"

«« Need access to the user view from a form
»» C compiler diagnostic, excessive information?

# 1

As I understand, this message means that dbx was unable to find owing scope of race_func.o file scope. Possibly, an internal dbx error. I see it in the latest version, too.

If the element you're watching does not change frequently, I'd recommend this workaround: try setting 'stop access' breakpoint, which is much faster and it works:

[code](dbx) stop access bw &((void **)sauxProcHashTable)[1020][/code]
