HP WDB GUI 5.8 Reference Manual ( February 2008 )

Debugging with WDB GUI
Viewing Code
Chapter 358
The dwell feature allows you to quickly view the value of a variable or expression. It is
available from both the Source view and Disassembly view. WDB GUI provides support for
the Mouse Scroll Wheel in Source Views and Disassembly Views.
Viewing source code
Before you can view your source code, you must have an executable loaded and running in the
WDB GUI. Once you have loaded a file, you can use the Source view to see and manipulate
your source code. Specifically, you can use the Source view to:
• See the current file’s source path.
• See the source file contents.
• See the current location of the program counter. The program counter is set to the point in
your program where the debugger will begin executing.
• See the location and status of breakpoints.
