Debugging with WDB GUI
Finding Specific Text in Your Code
Chapter 366
Additionally, the debugger has these limitations in how it handles changed code:
• With the exception of the routine at the top of the stack, new code will not be executed for
a routine currently on the stack until that routine is popped off the stack and program
execution reenters that routine.
• With the exception of the routine at the top of the stack, breakpoints in a routine on the
stack will be inactive until that routine is popped off the stack and program execution
reenters that routine.
• If the name of a function is changed and there was a breakpoint set to the old version of
the function, the breakpoint is not moved to the new function. Additionally, the old
breakpoint is still valid (and can be hit when existing routines call the old function name).
• If the number of lines of the modified file is different from that of the original file, the
placement of breakpoints may not be correct.
• When the program resumes, the program counter is moved to the beginning of the same
line in the modified function. It is possible that the program counter may be at the wrong
line.
Finding Specific Text in Your Code
You can use Find and Find Next to search your current view for specific text or a regular
expression. It is available in the following views: Source, Disassembly, Command, Call Stack,
and Threads. A blue line highlights the current view.
You can choose to search for matching upper/lower case and to direct the search toward the
beginning or end of the file. The cursor is moved to the next match in the file, and the
matching text is highlighted.
