Chapter 9: Debugger Commands
Program Step Over
Program Step Over
The Program Step Over command executes the number of instructions or lines
specified, but executes through function calls, that is, the called function is
executed without stepping through it. Execution begins at the specified
starting address.
When the debugger encounters a C function or assembly-level subroutine call
and then continues stepping when the called subroutine returns.
In high-level mode, the debugger executes one C source line at a time. In
assembly-level mode, the debugger executes one microprocessor instruction at
a time.
If you do not specify a starting address, single-stepping begins at the address
contained in the program counter.
If you do not specify a step count (< step_count> ), the debugger will either
step one C source line or one machine instruction.
Program Step Over From
The Program Step Over From command executes one instruction or line,
beginning with the location specified by < start_addr> . If you do not specify
the optional step count (< step_count> ), the debugger executes one line or
one instruction.
