+<h1>Debug information</h1>
+
+<p>When using the Stand-alone Debugger, you will be using the <strong>Debug</strong>
+perspective. 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>&nbsp;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>
