The <strong>Debug</strong> perspective lets you manage the debugging or running of a program +in the Eclipse Workbench. You can control the execution of your program by setting +breakpoints, suspending launched programs, stepping through your code, and +examining the contents of variables.</p> +<p> The <strong>Debug</strong> perspective displays the following information:</p> + +<ul> + <li>The stack frame for the suspended threads +for each target that you are debugging</li> + <li>Each thread in your program represented as a node in the tree</li> + <li>The process for each program that you are running</li> +</ul> +<p>The <strong>Debug</strong> perspective also drives the <strong>C/C++ Editor</strong>. As you step +through your program, the <strong>C/C++ Editor</strong> highlights the location of the +execution pointer. </p> + +<h2>Variables</h2> + +<p>You can view information about the variables in a selected stack frame in the +Variables view. When execution stops, the changed values are +by default highlighted in red. Like the other debug-related views, the Variables view does +not refresh as you run your executable. A refresh occurs when execution stops.</p> + +<h2>Expressions</h2> + +<p>An expression is a snippet of code that can be evaluated to produce a result. +The context for an expression depends on the particular debug model. Some +expressions may need to be evaluated at a specific location in the program so +that the variables can be referenced. You can view information about expressions +in the Expressions view.</p> + +<h2>Registers</h2> + +<p>You can view information about the registers in a selected stack frame. +Values that have changed are highlighted in the Registers view when your program +stops.</p> + +<h2>Memory</h2> + +<p>You can inspect and change your process memory.</p> + +<h2>Disassembly</h2> + +<p>You can view disassembled code mixed with source information.</p> + +<h2>Modules</h2> + +<p>You can view information about the modules (executables and shared libraries) loaded +in the current debug session.</p> + +<h2>Signals</h2> + +<p>You can view the signals defined on the selected debug target and how the +debugger handles each one.</p> +<p><img src="../images/ngconcepts.gif" ALT="Related concepts" width="143" height="21"> +<br> +<a href="cdt_c_over_cdt.htm">Overview of the CDT</a><br> +<a href="cdt_c_over_dbg.htm">Debug overview</a></p> +<p><img src="../images/ngtasks.gif" ALT="Related tasks" width="143" height="21"> +<br> +<a href="../tasks/cdt_o_debug.htm">Debugging</a><br> + </p> +<p><img src="../images/ngref.gif" ALT="Related reference" width="143" height="21"> +<br> +<a href="../reference/cdt_o_run_dbg_pages.htm">Run and Debug dialog box</a><br> +<a href="../reference/cdt_o_dbg_view.htm">Debug views</a></p><p> + +<img src="../images/ng00_04a.gif" ALT="IBM Copyright Statement" > </p> +</div> +</body> + +</html>
