Data Display List

The Data Display list includes a list of expressions and values. Expressions in the list are reevaluated each time the program being debugged stops executing--at a breakpoint or after a step. If a value changes from one evaluation to the next, the value is highlighted in bold. Pointer values are displayed as hypertext links.

Values are shown as follows:

• Simple values are shown directly in the Data Display window. For example:

expr = 42

• String values are shown with both their pointer and quoted-string dereferenced form. For example:

char* = 0xf102a "a string value"

• Classes/structs and array values are not shown in the main Data Display window. Expressions of these aggregate types are shown with a link in the place of the value. {...} is the link for classes/structs and (...) is the link for arrays. For example:

class expr = {...}

array expr = (...)

Clicking the link displays the value in a separate pop-up window.
