Figure 113. Call Stack frame indicator
This highlighted line is the source for the instruction found at the chosen call address
(this means that the instruction pointed to by the value in the Call Stack, is indicated by
the highlighted source line). The Program Counter indicator remains unchanged, as the
program is still halted at the PC value.
● Bookmark icon: a blue rectangular symbol. Bookmarks are an Editor function
provided as an aid to text viewing.
5.4.2 QuickWatch window
The QuickWatch window provides rapid access to the most commonly used Watch functions
by displaying the current value of a variable selected in the Editor window. It may be opened
in three ways:
● From the Editor contextual menu
● From the main menu, by selecting Edit>QuickWatch,
● By clicking on the QuickWatch icon in the Edit toolbar.
The QuickWatch window is opened in front of the active Editor window. If the text cursor is
positioned within an expression string, or the expression highlighted, then the expression
appears in the Expression field of the QuickWatch window. The main display area of the
QuickWatch window contains a list of identifiers and their current values.
Commands in the window allow you to select the display base (Hexadecimal, Decimal or
Binary), to recalculate the program values shown in the window, and to add selected
variables to the list in the Watch window.
Alternatively, it searches for a corresponding variable name when a string is entered directly
in the Expression field at the top of the QuickWatch window (shown below), and displays
the variable name, its current value, variable type and address.
The ‘+’ sign before a variable name in the left hand Variable column, indicates that the
variable is expandable (see Section 5.12: Watch window on page 191).
