Show PARAMETERS in variables window

9 Jul 2007 10:59 #2035

Strictly speaking I think this is more of a SDBG issue, but as 95% of my use of SDBG these days is from within Plato, I beg leave to raise it here ... the 'Show PARAMETERS in variables window' option within SDBG seems to have stopped working. Checked or unchecked, it has no effect on my variables window, which refuses to show any PARAMETERs. I just tried this with two projects, one complex and one simple, with SDBG standalone and under control of Plato. Same result every time. Has this option been removed intentionally and the menu not updated, or is there something wrong here not by design?

There are two requirements for parameters to be shown in sdbg:

  1. The 'Show PARAMETERs in variables window' must be ticked
  2. The file must have been compiled with /full_debug. Using /debug alone will not include parameters.

I have just tried an example from the command-line and it worked as expected. If you are unsure which compile time options are in force you can get a list of them by producing a listing file (/LIST) -- the compiler options in force are shown at the top of the file.

Robert,

Thanks for that clear summary. I *did *know about the requirement for full_debug. For some reason, I occasionally get it into my head that checkmate and full_debug are the same thing. This was one of those occasions. Sorry.
