Using the Debug Console

The Debug Console allows you to issue commands to the debug engine. It also allows you to view output from the engine and see results of commands that you have issued.

About this task

To issue a command to the engine, enter it in the Debug Engine Command field. When you enter commands into this field, they are added in the right-hand pane of the console to the list of commands that you have already issued. This list of commands can be reordered by dragging a command to another position. You can also delete commands from the list by right-click pop-up menu actions or by buttons at the top of the console. To save the command list for later use, you can export it to a file and then import it for other debug sessions. To reissue a command in the list, double-click it.

The following list directs you to the publication that contains the list of commands you can issue, which depends on the version of Debug Tool you are working with:

Procedure

To view a list of supported commands, do the following steps:

  1. Place the cursor in the Enter Command field.
  2. Press Ctrl+Space. The debugger displays a list of commands that you can enter in the current debugging session.
