'GOTO' option (set PC) in debugger??

#1 Post by sadavis80 » 23 Nov 2008 01:56

It would be REALLY nice if we could click on a line in the debugger and say 'Set PC to HERE'. This, of course would be of limited use, but EXTREMELY USEFUL(time wise) .. like Interrupt routines .. or routine areas that CAN'T be easily reached in the debugger (due to expected OUTSIDE intervention - external inputs - external interrupts, etc.

Just a thought. I mean .. if the debugger is there, why can't I set it to any specific place? Like SKIP a program line, rather than have to STOP, CHANGE CODE, RECOMPILE, SET NEW BREAKPOINT,RESTART DEBUGGER. ??
(There's probably a REALLY good reason why this can't be done ... no??)

It would be REALLY nice if it behaved like a normal C compiler.

And even nicer if you could use all the normal industry tools for debugging. Then you would only have to worry about one Beta release at a time.

mikroC is ANSI c compiler (except few things noted in help). We have made
few extensions to make things easier and more user friendly but you do not have to use them.

It is in our plans to integrate JTAG debugger in our IDE. Also we will enable using our compiler from AVR studio so you can use already existing debuggers/ simulators.
