Configure Debugger Behavior (Compact 7)

  • Article

3/12/2014

You can configure the behavior of the kernel debugger by using the Debugging, Options dialog box in Platform Builder. The following option categories are available:

  • General. You can enable various options such as breakpoint filters, address-level debugging, when to break all processes, and warning if there are no symbols at startup. For a description of the available options, see General, Debugging, Options Dialog Box.
  • Edit and Continue. You can set the Edit and Continue option so you can change your source code while your program is in break mode. You do not need to end the debug session and rebuild your program for the changes to be applied. To enable this capability and set related options, see Edit and Continue, Debugging, Options Dialog Box.
  • Just-In-Time. You use Just-In-Time (JIT) to debug code at the moment when the OS would typically terminate the relevant process. You can enable JIT debugging for managed, native, and script code. To enable this feature, see Just-In-Time, Debugging, Options Dialog Box. To configure the OS and the device for JIT debugging, see Set Up JIT Debugging.
  • Native. You can choose whether to load DLL exports and to enable Remote Procedure Call (RPC) debugging. For more information, see Native, Debugging, Options Dialog Box.
  • Symbols. To specify where the debugger will look for program database (PDB) files and where to cache symbols, see Symbols, Debugging, Options Dialog Box. To create a mapping between specific PDB files and their associated source code files, see Associate Source Code with PDB Files.

To access the options that control the behavior of the kernel debugger, follow these instructions.

To access the debugger behavior options

  1. On the Platform Builder Tools menu, click Options.

  2. In the Options dialog box, in the left pane, expand Debugging.

    Below Debugging, there is a page for each of the option categories described earlier.

  3. Select the options that you want, and then click OK.
