Symbolic Debuggers
[REV BEG]
The symbolic debuggers HP Symbolic Debugger/XL and HP TOOLSET/XL are more
powerful and easier to use than Debug, the MPE XL System Debugger. Maps
are unnecessary, commands are simple, and labeled function keys are
available. If these debuggers are available on your system, you can use
them to do the following:[REV END]
* Reference data items by their names, instead of their addresses.
* Display data item values.
* Change data item values.
* Set and clear breakpoints, with optional frequency and proceed
counts.[REV BEG]
* Edit the source file at a breakpoint (HP TOOLSET/XL only).[REV
END]
* Display a compiler listing at a breakpoint.
* Trace and retrace program flow.
* Trace changes in data item values between paragraphs.
HP Symbolic Debugger/XL
[REV BEG]
HP Symbolic Debugger/XL is a powerful, full-featured symbolic debugger
that is interactive at the source level. This allows you to examine the
program state in which an error occurs, correct the situation, and resume
execution or abort the program.
For detailed information about HP Symbolic Debugger/XL and its use, refer
to the HP Symbolic Debugger/XL Reference Manual.
HP TOOLSET/XL
HP TOOLSET/XL provides an integrated programming environment, including a
symbolic debugger, a workspace file manager with version control,
function keys set to compile and prepare source files, and a full-screen
editor.
For detailed information about HP TOOLSET/XL and its use, refer to the HP
TOOLSET/XL Reference Manual.[REV END]
