NonStop Development Environment for Eclipse Debugging Supplement

Figure 11 Debugger tab

• The Use default debugger option is selected by default. To use a different debugger than the

default debugger (for example, you have installed a different version of the debugger in

another location), select Use debugger at the following path: and type the path in the box or

click Browse... to locate and select the debugger you want to use.

• (NonStop Application debug configurations only) By default, Stop at main entry point after

launch is selected. To specify a function at which to stop before the main entry point is reached,

select Stop at the following function after launch: and type the name of the function in the box.

• By selecting the options in Automatically track*:, you can choose to automatically track and

update the values of variables in the Variables view and shared library loads in the Modules

view. By default, automatic updates are disabled.

NOTE: Automatic updates of the Variables and Modules views slow stepping performance.

When automatic updates are enabled, the stepping performance is most impacted when you

step your application into a function, because that is when the initial local variable list for the

function is created. To improve stepping performance, see “Improving the stepping performance

of the debugger” (page 9).
