Debug Tab

  • Article
  • Hexadecimal display
    Select to display values in hexadecimal format and parse user input in hexadecimal format in all debugger windows and dialogs. When using the debugger in hexadecimal mode, it is possible to enter decimal numbers using the prefix 0n (zero-n); for example, 0n1000.
  • Address
    Type the beginning address for the block of memory to be displayed.
  • Format
    Select the display format for memory contents.
  • Reevaluate expression
    Select to dynamically evaluate an expression entered in the Memory window. Select this option if you want to enter a pointer, for example, and have the memory window display the address pointed to even when the pointer changes. Do not select this option if you want the pointer to be evaluated once and the Memory window to continue to point to that address even when the pointer changes.
  • Show data bytes
    Select to display data as raw bytes as well as in the chosen format.
  • Fixed width
    Select to display memory contents in a fixed-width format when check box is selected. Enter the width in the textbox on the right. Width units are determined by the format selected above. For example, if you choose short and set the width to 4, each row in the Memory window will display four short values.
  • Source Annotation
    Select to display source code within the listing of assembly-language code.
  • Code bytes
    Select to display the bytes corresponding to each assembly-language instruction.
  • Symbols
    Select to display symbolic names (such as CMyApp::OnMyEvent) for addresses in the Disassembly Window.
  • Parameter values
    Select to display values passed to each parameter for each call shown in the Call Stack window.
  • Parameter types
    Select to display type information for each parameter for each call shown in the Call Stack window.
  • Frame Pointer
    Select to display Frame Pointer information in the Call Stack window.
  • File name
    Select to display the File name in the Call Stack window.
  • Display Unicode strings
    Select to display Unicode-format strings for debugging international programs.
  • View floating point registers
    Select to display contents of floating-point registers in the Registers window.
  • Load COFF & Exports
    Select to enable the debugger to load COFF-format debugging information, or DLL Exports when debugging information is not available. Selecting this option may affect debugger performance when loading the application to be debugged.
