Debug Tutorial: How to Modify Data

---

set [ context ] variable[ ,count ] = expression
set [ context ] [ size_switch ] address[ ,count ] = expression
set [ context ] [ size_switch ] -register_name = expression

It may be useful to modify a data item during runtime and continue execution to see what happens, thus avoiding a re-compilation.

• set modifies the contents of a specified variable, address, or register.

• assign is another name for this command.

• If an array name is specified, each element in the array will be set to the specified value.

• Assignment to an entire structure is not allowed. Must specify an individual element.

• Switches can be used to explicitly indicate the number of bytes to be modified when specifying an address or register (available switches: b, s, l, d).

• Modification of data items does not persist when re-running the program from the beginning.

Examples:

(all) > assign i = 5
(all) > assign carry[0]='A'
(all) > assign(2..3) arry,4=100
(all) > assign f1=3.3333
