6.2.1. GUI for Debugging

You can control the debugging process using the Debug Bar.
Figure 14. Execution Control in the Debug Bar
Table 7.  Execution Control Using the Debug Bar
Debug Bar GUI Function Description
1 Resume Continues the debugging process until the next breakpoint, or until the end of the debugging process.
2 Suspend Halts the running code while debugging.
3 Terminate Terminates the debug session. You need to relaunch the debug session after terminated.
4 Disconnect Disconnects the debug tool connected to the RiscFree* IDE.
5 Step into Steps into the next method call at the currently executing line of code.
6 Step over Steps over the next method call (without entering it) at the currently executing line of code. The method is still executed.
7 Step return (out) Returns from a method which has been stepped into. The remainder of the code that was skipped by returning is still executed.
8 Instruction stepping mode Switches to instruction stepping mode.
9 Drop to frame Pops the current stack frame and puts control back out to the calling method, resetting any local variables.
10 Use step filters Changes whether step filters should be used in the current Debug View.
