 |
|
A Step Out (continue and carry out the next return) for the debugger. 
I currently have to "get to" the END statement in a subroutine/function and step again to get to the next statement in the caller.
(I don't usually have alternative RETURNS in the function/subroutine body, but when I do I have to put down breakpoints on these lines as well  )
This is just a "nice" suggestion. I could understand if it is very low priority.
David.

David, the current SDBG64 has StepOut.
The 32-bit SDBG does not, and I hope that it gets this feature one of these days. The feature is especially useful when there are a large number of RETURN statements at different places in a subprogram. It is a chore to set a breakpoint at every one of these RETURN statements. |
