The Development Environment displays information in a series of windows that you can view as you debug a program.
You activate these windows with commands from the Window menu.
These are the windows and information they show:
Window | Information |
Watch | Watch expressions set with the Watch Expression command. Values are displayed only while using the debugger. |
Locals | Values of local variables within the function currently being stepped through. Values are used only while using the debugger. |
Registers | Current contents of the memory and status registers. |
Errors | Information about compiler errors. Errors are displayed only while building the program. |
You can size and minimize these windows during debugging so that you can see various types of information at one time.
Figure 5.1 shows the debugging information windows.
