<P>
When the --debug option is specified the compiler generates extra
symbol information some of which are put into the assembler source
and some are put into the .adb file. Then the linker creates the .cdb
file from the individual .adb files with the address information for
the symbols. The debugger reads the symbolic information generated
by the compiler &amp; the address information generated by the linker.
It uses the SIMULATOR (Daniel's S51) to execute the program, the program
execution is controlled by the debugger. When a command is issued
for the debugger, it translates it into appropriate commands for the
simulator. (Currently SDCDM only connects to the simulator but <I>newcdb</I>
at <TT><A NAME="tex2html56"
  HREF="http://ec2drv.sf.net/">http://ec2drv.sf.net/</A></TT> is an effort to connect directly to
the hardware.)
