Using SoftBench Debugger

Correcting Errors in Your Program

Chapter 7208

Alternatively, edit your source code in your conﬁgured editor by choosing

"File: Edit…" to specify the ﬁle you want to edit. Make your changes,

then start the build from the editor, main SoftBench window, or

SoftBench Debugger, whichever is easiest for you. The editable source

code area in SoftBench Debugger displays the "Out of Date" message to

inform you that the source has been changed. Choose "Edit: Update

Buffer" or "Edit: Update All Buffers" to synchronize your view of

the source.

Synchronizing Files

When you debug a program, you debug the object code generated from

the compilation of one or more source ﬁles. When the source is

out-of-date, the PC Location indicated in the Source File Area may not

accurately reﬂect the location of the program counter.

This unsynchronized behavior occurs any time the source has been

modiﬁed without recompiling the program and reloading it into

SoftBench Debugger.
