NonStop Development Environment for Eclipse Debugging Supplement

when you are not using it. NSDEE does not update a view if that view is not visible to

the user.

When automatic updates are disabled, you have these options for viewing the values of variables

• Enable updates for a specific variable by selecting it the Variables view, right-clicking, and

selecting Enable from the pop-up menu.

• Use the Expressions view to display the variables you are interested in monitoring. To open

the Expressions view, in the source editor, select the variable, right-click, and select Add Watch

Expression from the pop-up menu.

• In the source editor, place your cursor over the variable. The value of the variable is displayed

in a small pop-up window.

• Use the print command in the Native Inspect (einspect) console.

• To enable updates for all variables during this debugging session, in the Variables view:

Right-click and select Select All.1.

2. Right-click and select Enable.

NOTE: Using this option results in slower stepping.

• To enable automatic updates for all variables in your debug configuration, see “Specifying

debugger options” (page 31).

Launching a NonStop application under debugger control

Before you can debug a NonStop application using NSDEE, you must select or create a NonStop

Application debug configuration. A debug configuration defines how an executable file is to be

opened under debugger control.

• If you want to reuse an existing NonStop Application debug configuration and do not need

to modify it, in the Debug Configurations dialog, in the configurations list, select the debug

configuration you want use and double-click to launch it.

TIP: If the configurations list contains a large number of debug configurations, you can find

the one you want to select more easily by filtering the results as described in “Listing and

filtering debug configurations” (page 27).

• To create a new NonStop Application debug configuration, see “Creating a new NonStop

Application debug configuration” (page 13).

• To modify an existing NonStop Application debug configuration, see “Modifying an existing

NonStop Application debug configuration” (page 15).

NOTE: Often you can access wizards, dialogs, and actions using more than one method. For

information about other methods for accessing a wizard or dialog, see the reference topic for that

wizard or dialog.
