Disassembly Window (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

In the Disassembly window you can debug optimized code or step through source-code lines that contain multiple statements. To display the window, go to Debug > Windows > Disassembly.

The source window acts on each line of code as a unit. For example, the following line of code contains multiple statements:

x=1; y=7; Z=3;

This line of code is treated as one unit, even though it contains different statements.

When you use the source window, you cannot step from one statement on a source-code line to the next or set a breakpoint on any statement other than the first.

The Disassembly window operates on disassembled (assembly-language or bytecode) instructions instead of source-code statements or lines.

  • Set a breakpoint on any instruction.
  • Step Into or Step Over instructions in your program while the Disassembly window has focus. This causes the debugger to execute your program instruction-by-instruction instead of line by line.
  • View and step through your code by disassembled instructions. This approach can be especially useful when debugging optimized code.
    Press CTRL+F11 to switch between the Disassembly window and the source window.

Right-click the window to bring up a menu, which contains the following functions.

  • Copy
    Copies the selected text.
  • Go To Source
    Opens the source code in a new source code edit window.
  • Show Current Statement
    Shows the currently executing statement in the Disassembly window.
  • Set Next Statement
    Overrides the next statement and, instead, executes another statement that you selected.
  • Run to Cursor
    Runs to the location of the cursor in the Disassembly window.

  • Toggle Breakpoint
    Inserts a breakpoint, if there is none, at the line where the cursor is in the Disassembly window.

    If there is a breakpoint at that line, it is removed.

  • Enable/Disable Breakpoint
    Enables a disabled breakpoint or disables an enabled breakpoint in the Disassembly window.
  • Source Annotation
    Displays the source code that is associated with the assembly language code in a different color.
  • Show Code Bytes
    Displays the machine language code that is associated with the assembly language code in a different color.
