Chapter 9 The CodeView Environment

CodeView provides a powerful environment in which to debug programs and dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). Its rich set of commands helps you track program execution and changing data values.

In CodeView you can “point-and-click” your source code to start and stop execution or modify bytes in memory. You can also use more traditional keyboard commands. You can use function keys to execute common commands, such as tracing and stepping through a program. When you quit CodeView, it remembers your breakpoints, window arrangement, watch expressions, and option settings.

This chapter describes the CodeView display, shows you how to use the menu commands, and how to interact with the different types of windows.
