How Can I Find Out Who Is Passing a Wrong Parameter Value?

Full Problem Description: I’ve discovered that the wrong parameter value is being passed to one of my functions. This function is called from all over the place. How can I find out who’s passing it the wrong value?

Using the Breakpoints dialog box, set a location breakpoint at the beginning of the function. Then click Condition, and use the Breakpoints Condition dialog box to enter an expression, such as Var==3, where Var is the name of the function being passed the bad value, and 3 is the bad value passed to it.

Now run the program again. The breakpoint causes the program to halt at the beginning of the function when Var has the value 3. You can then use the Call Stack window to find the calling function and navigate to its source code. For more information, see and .
