Library /sys$common/syshlp/dbg$help.hlb DEBUG, Messages, PTRNOTSET  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 'symbol_name' is not initialized (try a STEP command first)

    Facility: DEBUG, VMS Debugger

    Explanation: An object containing either virtual member functions
    or virtual base classes contain pointers to tables which are used
    to implement those features of the C++ language. Such a pointer
    is initialized by a constructor, and hence is not valid prior to
    the execution of that constructor. Certain debugger operations
    applied to such an object require that such a pointer to be valid
    in order for the debugger operation to complete successfully.

    User Action: Advance the program until the appropriate
    constructor has been executed. Usually, a single STEP command
    will suffice.
