Debugging Modes and Default Displays
The debugger has four debugging modes:
-
Auto
-
Assembly
-
Mixed
-
Minimal
Each mode changes the debugger display by adding or hiding specific win-
dows. This section shows the default displays and the windows that the debug-
ger automatically displays for these modes. These modes cannot be used
within the profiling environment; the COMMAND, PROFILE, DISASSEMBLY,
and FILE windows are the only available windows in the profiling environment.
Auto mode
In
auto mode, the debugger automatically displays whatever type of code is
currently running : assembly language or C. This is the default mode; when you
first invoke the debugger, you’ll see a a display similar to Figure 3–1. Auto
mode has two types of displays:
-
When the debugger is running assembly language code, you’ll see an
assembly display similar to the one in Figure 3–1. The DISASSEMBLY
window displays the reverse assembly of memory contents.
-
When the debugger is running C code, you’ll see a C display similar to the
one in Figure 3–2. (This assumes that the debugger can find your C
source file to display in the FILE window. If the debugger can’t find your
source, it switches to mixed mode.)
When you’re running assembly language code, the debugger automatically
displays windows as described for assembly mode.
When you’re running C code, the debugger automatically displays the
COMMAND, CALLS, and FILE windows. If you want, you can also open a
WATCH window and DISP windows.
