Problems with Source Files

This section covers problems related to source-code files.
No source-code view
Problem
All I see in the source pane is assembly-language code. The Source pop-up menu does not let me display source code.
Background
There is no symbolics information available for that code. You may not have enabled debugging for a file, or you may be stepping through some ancillary code added by the linker that has no corresponding source code (for example, glue code). Without symbolics information, the debugger can only display the code in assembly language.
Solutions
Outdated source files
Problem
When I run my project, I get a warning that says the modification dates do not match.
Background
The symbolics file keeps track of when the source file on which it is based was last changed. If the date and time stored in the symbolics file do not match those of the original file, the debugger warns you that the symbolics information may no longer be current.
Solution
Spurious ANSI C code in Pascal projects
Problem
I am working on a Pascal program, and when I step through code I find ANSI C routines. I have not included any ANSI C libraries.
Background
The Pascal runtime library was written in C and uses ANSI C routines. These are the routines that are displayed when debugging a Pascal program.
