Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The Add Watch command shows an expression and its value in the
     watch window. CodeView updates the display whenever the value of
     the expression changes. A watch expression can be any valid
     expression or memory address in <segment>:<offset> form.
 
     ┌───────── Add Watch ──────────┐
     │                            ┌─┼ ■ Type expression you want
     │ Expression: [··········]◄──┘ │    to watch
     │                              │
     └──────────────────────────────┘ ■ Choose <OK>
 
     For relational expressions, the watch window shows 0 if the
     expression is false and 1 if the expression is true:
 
          count + 1 == 5 : 0    ◄── False
          count + 1 == 5 : 1    ◄── True
 
     The watch window shows variables in the default C format for their
     type. To use another format, enter the variable followed by a
     CodeView format specifier. You can also cast the expression to
     the format you want to use.
     See: ◄Add Watch Expression (W?) Command-Window Command►
          ◄Format Specifiers►
 
     CodeView always evaluates watch expressions according to the
     current radix and reevaluates watch expressions if the radix
     changes.
