Evaluating Expressions
When the VM suspends a thread (due to hitting a
breakpoint
or stepping through code), you can evaluate expressions in the context of a stack frame.
Expressions can be entered and evaluated in the
Detail Pane
(in the
Expressions
view
and
Variables
view).
To add an expression
-
In the
Expressions
view, right-click (Mac OS: Ctrl click) in the view area and select
Add Expression
from the popup menu.
-
The
New watch expression
dialog box will be displayed. Type the expression in the
Expression
field.
-
The checkbox
Enable
defines, whether this expression will be enabled. Deselect it if you want to disable the expression.
-
Click
OK
when finished.
