Chapter 9: Debugger Commands
Debugger Option Symbolics
Use the Debugger Option List command to display the current option values.
To permanently change any option default values, first use the Debugger
Option command to change the value(s) and then use the File Startup
command to save the new default values in a startup file. See the File Startup
command for more information.
Assem_Symbols
The Assem_Symbols option causes symbols instead of memory addresses to be
displayed in the disassembled code whenever possible. Symbol names are
placed to the right of the disassembled code for immediate values. This is done
because there is no sure way of telling if the immediate value was represented
by the symbol at assembly time. This option is set to On by default.
Intermixed
The Intermixed option intermixes C source code with the assembly code
generated for each respective C statement. This option is off by default.
Check_Args
The Check_Args option controls parameter checking in commands and
macros. If oFF is selected, the debugger does not do any argument checking. If
On is selected, the debugger warns you when an assignment is made which
contains a C type mismatch. This option is off by default.
Uppercase_Mods
The Uppercase_Mods option tells the debugger to convert module names to
all uppercase before entering them in the database. This is useful if you have
module names that are the same name as functions (for example, module
'main' contains function 'main'), because the debugger often scopes modules
at a higher level than functions.
Line_Option
The Line_Option defines options for building line numbers from the absolute
file. The only option currently defined is set using bit 0 of the number. It is set
to 1 to not strech a section if the line address is outside the range of the
enclosing section. This currently applies to the OMF86 reader only.
