USE (Use Language)

Syntax

USE evaluator

Parameter

evaluator

Selects the specified expression evaluator. If omitted, the command displays the currently selected expression evaluator. You can specify AUTO for the evaluator. With this setting, CodeView selects the appropriate expression evaluator based on the extension of the source file.

Description

The USE command specifies which expression evaluator CodeView is to use while debugging.

Mouse and Keyboard

As an alternative to typing the USE command, choose the Language command from the Options menu. There is no keyboard shortcut.

Remarks

When you switch expression evaluators, CodeView displays expressions in the Local and Watch windows with the nearest equivalent type in the new language. If the new language does not have an equivalent type, the results are unpredictable.
