X-Hacker.org- Watcom Debugger Guide - the debugger's context sensitive menus contain many useful menu items. each http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
The debugger's context sensitive menus contain many useful menu items.  Each
of these items behave differently depending upon the selected item.  A
description of some of the commonly found menu items follows:


Inspect
    Inspect displays the selected item.  The debugger determines how to best
    display the selected item based on its type.  If you inspect a variable
    or an expression, the debugger opens a new window showing its value.  If
    you inspect a function, the debugger positions the source code window at
    the function definition.  If you inspect a hexadecimal address from the
    assembly window, a window showing memory at that address is opened, and
    so on.  Experimenting with inspect will help you learn to use the
    debugger effectively.

Modify
    Modify lets you change the selected item.  You will normally be prompted
    for a new value.  For example, select the name of a variable from any
    window and choose Modify to change its value.

New
    New adds another item to a list of items displayed in a window.  For
    example, choosing New in the Break Point window lets you create a new
    breakpoint.

Delete
    Delete removes the selected item from the window.  For example, you can
    use Delete to remove a variable from the Watches window.

Source
    Source displays the source code associated with the selected item.  The
    debugger will reposition the source code window at the appropriate line.
     Selecting a module name and choosing Source will display the module's
    source code.

Assembly
    Assembly positions the assembly code window at the code associated with
    the selected item.

Functions
    Functions shows a list of all functions associated with the selected
    item or window.  For example, choose Functions in the source window to
    see a list of all functions defined in that module.

Watch
    Watch adds the selected variable or expression to the Watches window.
     This allows you to watch its value change as the program runs.  Note
    that this is not a watchpoint.  Execution will not stop when the
    variable changes.  See the chapter entitled Breakpoints for information
    about setting watchpoints.

Break
    Break sets a breakpoint based on the selected item.  If a variable is
    selected, the program will stop when the variable is modified.  If a
    function is selected, the program will stop when the function executes.

Globals
    Globals shows a list of global variables associated with the selected
    item.

Show
    Show will present a cascaded menu that let's you show things related to
    the selected item.  For example, you can use Line from the Show menu in
    the source code window to see the line number of the selected line.

Type
    Type will present a cascaded menu that allows you to change the display
    type of the window or selected item.
