CHAPTER 3 • GETTING STARTED

Watch Expressions

Watch expressions are used to monitor variable values and watch expressions within the

code. The contents of the watch window are updated each time the debugger pauses, pro-

viding convenient access to critical debugging information (see Figure 3.10). To add a watch

expression, select Inspect from the menu bar and then select Add Watch.

Figure 3.10 – Watch Expressions

Memory Dump

Memory dumping is useful for examining the contents of an array of data (see Figure 3.11).

The address of an array or structure may be obtained from the watch window or by rolling

the mouse cursor over the name of the variable. See chapter 10 for more information on

memory dump window usage.
