Using the Modules view

The Modules view displays a list of modules loaded while running your program.

About this task

In the Modules view, the items in the list can be expanded to show compile units, files, and functions. When you are viewing modules, clicking the Show modules with debug information button will filter out those modules without debug information, leaving only the modules with debug information. By default, this setting is on.

When inspecting modules, double-clicking source file nodes will cause the source to open in the editor. If you are using Version 11.1 or later of the debug engine, clicking the Show file filter dialogbutton will open a dialog box with a list of all source files that are associated with the loaded modules. You can narrow down the selection list by typing the file name in the text field. Clicking OK will open the source file in the editor.

You can have the properties of compile units, files, and functions displayed in the Properties view, as follows:

Procedure

  1. Open the Properties view by choosing Window > Show View > Properties.
  2. In the Modules view, go to the module whose properties you want to view. If necessary, expand the module nodes and use the scroll bars, Up and Down keys, or PageUp and PageDown keys to scroll the Modules view until the module is visible.
  3. Select the module to have its properties display in the Properties view.

Results
