Seamless Source Level Debugging

TPF/GI’s source-level trace — called Source View —supports C, C++, Assembler, and SabreTalk in a seamless fashion. Users can open source files from different programs, DLLs and DLMs and from different programming languages side-by-side. They can then set breakpoints and step through their code between programs and between languages, watching variables and expressions update as they step.

The values of variables and other data can be modified during testing. Assembler expressions and SabreTalk epxressions are supported in addition to C/C++ variables. Both local and non-local variables are supported in C/C++.

A Linkmap Window allows programmers to see the files and functions that make up a program. The Callstack window shows the current function call nesting. Other helper windows include the Machine Instructions window and the Breakpoint window. All these helper windows dock with Source View to conserve space, but they can be undocked or moved for maximum flexibility.

TPF/GI’s rich execution control set (including Step Into, Step Out, Run, Run to Cursor, Branch to Cursor, Run Slow, and Run No Trace) gives users complete control over which parts of their programs execute.
