Enter value during debugging

 I have a complex project wherein I want to see whether the deviceundergoes a step by step execution of particular part of code.

So when I debug, I want the code execution to come and halt at this part of code and shoulkd not execute further. 

Can this be done with while( variable); with value defined greater than 0 when initialised and set to 0 during debug???

Use #define and #ifdef, #endef to control constant to be

assigned to a variable.

 

#define DEBUG

...

...

x = 20              // Normal variable value

#ifdef DEBUG

x = 10             // Debug value

#endef

 

When you comment out the #define then thats normal program settings.

Note these are much mroe flexible control statements. Like macro definitions,

etc..

 

Regards, Dana.

 Why not using the Breakpoint feature? It will stop the code execution just at the previous line.
