Native Inspect Manual (H06.13+, J06.03+)

You can change this default behavior by entering a set command (environment) with the

continue-to-main option set to off. You should include this command in the EINSCSTM file

(located in your default logon directory) so that it is executed during Native Inspect initialization.

If set continue-to-main off is specified, you must set a breakpoint at main() to stop

execution and examine the state of your program at that point, as in the following example:

(eInspect 0,330): b main

C:\mywin\home\myfiles\test\nitest.c, line 40.

(eInspect 0,330): c

Continuing.

Breakpoint 1 main () at C:\mywin\home\myfiles\test\nitest.c:40

40 void main (void) {

(eInspect 0,330): bt

#0 main () at C:\mywin\home\myfiles\test\nitest.c:40

#1 0x70000e60:0 in_MAIN 90 at \SPEEDY.$DATA06.T8432H01.CPLMAINC:68000

(eInspect 0,330):

Specifying set continue-to-main off is useful for debugging global constructors in a C++

program.
