Set Debug Options (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
When you use the Windows Embedded Compact kernel debugger, you can configure the following debugging options:
- Build options. You can set build options to enable Platform Builder to connect to a device and pass debugging information from the device to the development computer. For more information, see Set Build Options for Debugging.
- Debug display options. You can configure the debug display options in Platform Builder, such as the formats for data and address values, contents of the call stack window, verbosity, and so on. For more information, see Set Debug Display Options.
- Debug message options. You can choose whether to display timestamps, process IDs, thread IDs, and whether to send debug messages to a file and/or to the output window. For more information, see Configure Debug Messages.
- Debugger behavior options. You can determine where the debugger breaks, whether you can change your source code while in break mode, and whether you can use just-in-time (JIT) debugging, among other options. For more information about these options, see Configure Debugger Behavior.
- Exception handling. To view or change how the debugger handles each exception, see Configure Exception Handling.
- Mapping between source code and PDB files. You can change the mapping between the program database (PDB) files generated by the compiler and the associated source code files that are stored locally. For more information, see Associate Source Code with PDB Files.
- Overriding modules of the run-time image. You can configure Platform Builder to load certain modules of the run-time image directly from the Release directory instead of loading them from the run-time image, which can be useful if you want to override retail versions of modules with debug versions. For more information, see Override Modules.
