Hi,
I am trying to monitor a variable without halting execution on the target, and can't seem to make this work.
I tried setting a logging event point. According to the manual, the boxes I checked should evaluate the expression (the variable I am trying to monitor), send the log to the "Message window", and continue execution. The debugger keeps halting execution on the log point and I see no Message window or any message. I have the "Stop in Debugger" option unchecked.
I thought this might have something to do with the default template I am using, so I tried creating a new break point template, but this did not seem to help. Does the "Auto Breakpoint" type mean that the debugger is always going to halt execution? I don't want the program to "break". I want to monitor the value and continue normal execution.
Watch points seem to function exactly like breakpoints too, they just highlight the value I am looking for.
I tried using the "Global Variables" view, but that doesn't seem to update, ever.
I tried setting a "Pause Point" so that the debugger can "suspend program execution long enough to refresh debugger data." Apparently, that means halt execution no different than a break point, because that it is what is happening.
Any advice is appreciated.
