When either of the following operation has occurred, the program will stop automatically after conducting step execution in the source level (1 line of source text) or in the instruction level (1 instruction).
Once the program is stopped, the contents of each panel will be updated automatically. As such, step execution is suited for debugging the program execution in transition either in source or instruction level.
The unit in which the program is step-executed depends on the setting of the Editor panel as follows:
button on the toolbar is invalid (default):Step execution is conducted in source level.
Note, however, that when the focus is in the Disassemble panel or the line information does not exist in the address specified by the current PC value, the step execution is conducted in instruction level.
button on the toolbar is valid:Step execution is conducted in instruction level.
The |
button is only enabled if the mixed display mode is selected on the Editor panel (see "CS+ Editor").Step execution is divided into the following types:
2.7.3.1 Step in function (Step in execution)
2.7.3.2 Step over function (Step over execution)
2.7.3.3 Execute until return is completed (Return out execution)
Breakpoints, break events, and action events that have been set do not occur during step execution. |
If an instruction to move to standby mode (HALT/STOP) is executed during step execution, the program will break at the next instruction after the standby mode instruction. |

If step execution is performed in source level, CS+ determines whether an interrupt is being processed via the NP, EP, and ID flags in the PSW register. For this reason, if the above register or flags are changed (e.g. when using multiple interrupts), then Return out execution may be incorrect. |
