How to call function within the debugger?

Morales__Juan · ‎03-03-2004

On Linux it is possible to call a function from within the debugger, either idb or gdb? Does anybody knows how to do this within DevStudio?

I have internal routines that when called from the debugger can do additional output/calculations to help with the debugging process.. They work well on Linux(gdb+g77/pgdebug+pgf90)/AIX/HPUX/IRIX but I have not found a way to do this on Windows..

Is there a "DevStudio API" or alikethat allows such a functionality?

Thanks in advance,

Juan Carlos

There is no way we know of to do this in the context of the DevStudio debugger.

I hate to disagree with Steve, but ...

You can put a call in the WATCH window, and it displays its output to the command window created as part of the debugging session.

Oh, I love it when you disagree me like that! :smileywink: Always glad to hear that something is possible. I assume this is new with VS.NET, because I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work in CVF.
