The Debug perspective enables you to manage the debugging or running of a program. You can control the execution of your program by setting breakpoints, suspending threads, stepping through the code, and examining the values of variables.
- The Debug view displays the hierarchy of debug instances and allows
you to manage the debugging or running of a program.
- The root node of the hierarchy is the process on the target on which you are debugging.
- The nested nodes below the root represent the threads in the program.
- If a thread is suspended, the stack frame appears in the nested nodes below the thread node.
- The editor area allows you to modify the contents of files. For more details, see Editor area.
- The Dashboard view provides quick access to some basic features and frequently used functions.
- The Variables view shows all static variables for each process that you debug. Use the view to observe changes in the variables values as the program executes in the selected stack frame.
- The Disassembly view the loaded program as assembly language instructions mixed with source code for comparison.
- The Console view displays the output of the process and allows you to provide keyboard input to the process. There are numerous consoles that can be opened in the Console view. On the toolbar view, click the Display Selected Console and Open Console buttons to see all consoles available to you.
