The following panels apply to the CodeWarrior debugger:

• Other Executables
• Debugger Settings
• Remote Debugging

The Other Executables settings panel, shown in Figure 9.19, allows you to debug additional executable files along with the current build target.

This list shows the executable files that you can debug while debugging the current build target. The list consists of two columns:

• File-This column shows the path to the executable file.
• Debug-This column indicates the current debugging status of the executable file.

To add a new executable file to the Executable Files list, follow these steps:

1. Click Add.

The Debug Additional Executable dialog box, shown in Figure 9.20, appears.

2. Enter the path to the executable file in the File Location field.

Alternatively, click Choose to display a dialog box. Use the dialog box to select the executable file. The path to the selected executable file then appears in the field.

3. Configure the Download File During Remote Debugging checkbox as desired.

Enable the checkbox to download files from a remote computer during a remote-debugging session. Enter in the Remote download path field the download path for files from the remote computer. Alternatively, click Choose to open a dialog box and select the path. Click Clear to remove the existing path from the field.

4. Configure the Debug Merged Executable checkbox as desired.

Enable the checkbox to debug a merged executable file. Specify in the field the path to the file containing the merged executable file. Alternatively, click Choose to open a dialog box and select the path. Click Clear to remove the existing path from the field.

5. Click OK.

The new executable file appears in the Executable Files list of the Other Executables settings panel.

To modify an existing entry in the Executable Files list, follow these steps:

1. Select the entry that you wish to modify from the Executable Files list.

2. Click Change.

Alternatively, double-click the entry. The dialog box shown in Figure 9.20 appears with the details of the entry that you wish to change.

3. Modify the entry as desired.

Click Clear to remove existing path information from each field. Click Choose to use a dialog box to select a new path.

4. Click OK.

Your modifications appear in the Executable Files list. Alternatively, click Cancel to discard your changes and return to the Executable Files list.

To remove an existing entry from the Executable Files list, follow these steps:

1. Select the entry that you wish to delete from the Executable Files list.

2. Click Remove.

The IDE deletes the selected entry from the Executable Files list.

The Debugger Settings panel, shown in Figure 9.21, includes options to log activities, change data-update intervals, and set other related options.

Enter in this field the path to the relocated libraries and code-resource files required by the current project. Alternatively, click Choose to open a dialog box. Use the dialog box to select the required files.

Enable this checkbox to stop program execution at a specified temporary breakpoint at the beginning of a debugging session. Click the Default radio button to always stop at the main() function, or click the User specified radio button and enter in the field the function at which you want to stop.

This checkbox applies to the current project when you debug a non-project file. For example, this situation can occur when you attach a running process. For more information about attaching processes, see "Processes window toolbar".

Enable the Auto Target Libraries checkbox to allow the IDE to attempt to debug dynamically linked libraries (DLLs) loaded by the target application. The IDE attempts to automatically debug the loaded DLLs for which symbolics information is available.

Enable this checkbox to allow the debugger to cache a project's symbolics information and refer to that cached information during subsequent debugging sessions. Disable the checkbox to force the debugger to discard the project's symbolics information after each debugging session. Enabling the symbolics cache is useful for improving the performance of successive debugging sessions.

Enable this checkbox to log all system messages to a file. Disable the checkbox if you do not wish to create a log file. For more information about viewing log files, see "Log Window".

Enable this checkbox to halt a program's execution when the debugger encounters a watchpoint, regardless of whether the watched value changes. Disable this checkbox to halt execution only when the watched value changes.

Enable this checkbox to update the information in debugging windows after a specified time interval. Enter an interval in the Update data every x seconds field, where x represents the number of seconds you wish to elapse before the next update. Disable the checkbox if you do not wish to update the debugging information. In this case, debugging-window information stays the same throughout the debugging session.

The Remote Debugging settings panel, shown in Figure 9.22, lets you define target-specific remote-debugging connections between your computer and other computers. You define these target specific connections in terms of general remote-debugging connections. Using this approach, you need only make minor changes to the general connections to maintain remote-debugging functionality.

You use the Remote Debugging settings panel in conjunction with the Remote Debugging preference panel to configure remote-debugging connections for individual projects. For more information, see "Remote Connections".

Enable this checkbox to define a remote-debugging connection specific to the current build target. Choose from the Connection pop-up menu the general connection that you wish to use to define the target-specific connection. For more information about defining general connections, see "Remote Connections".

Enter in this field the path to the folder in which you wish to download files.

Enable this checkbox to launch an application on the remote computer to serve as a host application. Enter in the associated field the path to the application that you wish to launch.
