The Debug toolbars

Explains the options available on the toolbars in the three debugging views in the CPLEX® Studio IDE — Debug view, Variables view, and Breakpoints view.

The three debugging views — Debug view, Variables view, and Breakpoints view — become active when the IDE starts executing a project. They remain active as long as execution is in progress, including when a run is suspended. You can use the buttons in the toolbars of each view to control execution.

Point to these buttons to see a tooltip for them. From left to right:

• Remove All Terminated Launches – clears the window of runs that have completed or have been terminated (only active if the previous runs are visible in the view).

• Pause/Resume – a toggle button that pauses/continues the current run (only active if a run is in progress).

• Suspend – suspends the current run (only active if a run is in progress).

• Terminate – terminate the current run (only active if a run is in progress, and remains active if the run has been stopped using the Abort button on the execution toolbar).

• Disconnect – terminates the connection between the debugger and the remote debug target (only active if a run is in progress).

• Step Into – when debugging, resumes the run and steps into the next method call at the currently executing line of code (only active during debugging, with breakpoints set).

• Step Over – when debugging, resumes the run and steps over the next method call at the currently executing line of code without executing it (only active during debugging, with breakpoints set).

• Step Return – when debugging, resumes the run returns from a method that has been stepped into (only active during debugging, with breakpoints set).

• Drop to frame – when debugging, re-enters the selected stack frame in the Debug view (not active in CPLEX Studio).

• Use Step Filters – when debugging, activates/deactivates preselected step filters that have been set up for use in the Debug view (not active in CPLEX Studio).

• View Menu – opens a View Management dialog box for setting preferences in Debug view.

  

Point to these buttons to see a tooltip for them. From left to right:

• Show Type Names – displays/hides type names for the elements in Variables view (not active when columns are displayed).

• Show Logical Structure – displays/hides type logical structures in Variables view.

• Collapse All – collapses all expanded elements in the view (only active if the elements have been expanded).

• Menu – opens a Layout menu for setting display preferences in Variables view.

  

Point to these buttons to see a tooltip for them. From left to right:

• Remove Selected Breakpoints – delete the currently-selected breakpoints from the view.

• Remove All Breakpoints – delete all current breakpoints from the view.

• Show Breakpoints Supported By Selected Target – displays/hides breakpoints supported/not supported by the currently-selected debug target.

• Go To File For Breakpoint – open the associated resource for the breakpoint, make it active, and highlight the location of the breakpoint. (not active in CPLEX Studio).

• Skip All Breakpoints – mark all breakpoints in the current view as skipped.

• Expand All – expands all collapsed elements in the view (only active if the elements have been collapsed).

• Collapse All – collapses all expanded elements in the view (only active if the elements have been expanded).

• Link With Debug View – updates Breakpoints view with information from Debug view.

• Menu – opens a menu for setting preferences in Breakpoints view.
