Summary:
PROBLEM ID: QCW9203004
SYMPTOMS
When using the Microsoft QuickC for Windows (QC/Win) Graphical
Development Environment version 1.0, you may want to modify
register values that are located in the register window. When the
BP, DS, or SS register is modified, however, the value displayed in
the register window reflects the new value as does the actual
register. However, the value displayed in the Modify Value dialog
box selected from the debug menu is not changed. These values do
not change until another line of code has been executed.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in QuickC for Windows
version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here as it becomes available.
More Information:
When debugging a program in QC/Win, you can open a register window to
view the current register values by choosing Registers from the Window
menu. Choose Modify Variable from the Debug menu and choose the
appropriate register name to change any of these values (you may also
overwrite the current value directly in the window).
If the BP, DS, or SS register is modified, the value in the register
window will reflect the value that was entered as will the actual
register value. However, choosing to modify the register again (by
choosing Modify Value from the Debug menu) will show the original
value has not changed. Executing another line of code by pressing F8
(Trace Into), F10 (Step Over), or F5 (Go) will cause the dialog box to
be updated and display the correct value. All other registers in this
window are updated correctly.
Note: Changing the register values can cause your program and/or
Windows to halt. Do not change register values unless needed for
debugging purposes.
