The Memory Map: What It Is and Why You Must Define It
5-3
Defining a Memory Map
Potential memory map problems
You may experience these problems if the memory map isn’t correctly defined
and enabled:
-
Accessing invalid memory addresses. If you don’t supply a batch file
containing memory-map commands, the debugger is initially unable to ac-
cess any target memory locations. Invalid memory addresses and their
contents are highlighted in the data-display windows. (On color monitors,
invalid memory locations, by default, are displayed in red.)
-
Accessing an undefined or protected area. When memory mapping is
enabled, the debugger checks each of its memory accesses against the
memory map. If you attempt to access an undefined or protected area, the
debugger displays an error message.
-
Loading a COFF file with sections that cross a memory range. Be sure
that the map ranges you specify in a COFF file match those that you define
with the MA command (described on page 5-5). Alternatively, you can
turn memory mapping off during a load by using the MAP OFF command
(described on page 5-8).
