Access
To enter the name of the directories to search for debugging data, select the Search directories tab in the Debugger setup dialog box.
These directories are used to automatically find the debugging data file for:
- The program corresponding to the executable, where it has been selected using the Open executable or Attach to process options in the File menu.
- A program reached by executing the code, corresponding to the context selected in the stack.
The system searches for the debugging data in the following order:
- in the directory containing the selected executable,
- in the search directories specified in this tab.
If the file is not found in any of these directories, a file selection box is displayed.
List
The graphical list contains the frequently-selected search directories. Directories are scanned from the top toward the bottom of the list.
It is possible to indicate a directory within an archived file (in the .zip or .jar format). The archive file is then processed like a directory by the file selector.
