NonStop Development Environment for Eclipse 4.0 Debugging Supplement

• The Executables view is not supported.
• In the Variables, Registers , or Expressions views, casting a register or variable to a different
type is supported for C/C++ applications only.
• The Signals view is not supported. Instead, you can use ih and mh commands, which have
similar capabilities, in the in the Native Inspect (eInspect) console.
• The Registers view displays register values for the current program execution point. Selecting
a frame on the call stack does not cause the Registers view to display the registers for that
frame.
• Setting watchpoints is not supported. Instead, you can use the mab command, which has
similar capabilities, in the Native Inspect (eInspect) console.
• A running program process cannot start the debugger. For example you cannot call the
debugger program from the process.
For information about the CDT, see the C/C++ Development User Guide. (Available from the
Eclipse Workbench help menu. Select Help→Help Contents.)
