The dialog will close and a new pane will open in the workspace containing the variable.
It is possible to see that the string has been successfully initialised to ‘ STATIC ‘.
•
Set a breakpoint on the call to
DisplayString();
inside the
for
loop.
•
Press ‘Go’ to run the code from the current PC position.
•
Press ‘Step Over’ on the debug toolbar.
When the program stops you can see the modified string displayed on the second line of the LCD.
Inspection of the watch pane will show that the first character of the variable string has been replaced with the first character of the constant
replacement string.
•
Remove the breakpoint
•
Right click on the ‘
DisplayString();
’ function call after the loop and select ‘Go To Cursor’.
This shows that the variable was initialised at program start up and can be overwritten with ‘TESTTEST’.
You have now run the tutorial code and used many of the common features of the debugger. We suggest that you review the rest of the
tutorial code as many functions have important information on the operation of the code, the compiler directives and comments on when
they should or must be used. Please refer to Chapter 7 for more information on the project files.
