Using SoftBench Debugger

Understanding SoftBench Debugger

Chapter 7 157

Monitor variable values

You can set a watchpoint on a variable, causing it to

be monitored after each instruction, statement, or

function entry point, or when the program returns

control to the debugger. SoftBench Debugger displays

the current variable values in the Data Watch Window.

View machine instructions

You can view disassembled machine code with symbolic

addresses at any address in your program. You can also

view and access register values. SoftBench Debugger

shows associated source line numbers where possible,

and displays source code.

Visually navigate complicated data structures

You can visualize what is happening to your data

structures by using the Data Graph Window to

de-reference pointers and look at data structure values.

Debug C++ programs

SoftBench Debugger fully supports C++ data and

control structures. You can set breakpoints on speciﬁc

classes, member functions, templates, instances, and

overloaded functions. You can specify how inherited

data and functions should be treated.

Edit source ﬁles

SoftBench Debugger has a "Source File Area" that

allows you to edit source ﬁles using a text editor that

supports emacs-style key bindings. You can also edit

programs with your conﬁgured editor from the File

menu.
