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out of date.
Add Watch Expression (Description)
◄Summary► ◄Example► ◄Up► ◄Contents► ◄Index► ◄Back►
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The Add Watch Expression (W?) command displays one or more
specified values in the watch window. CodeView updates the
watch window to show new values each time the value of the watch
expression changes during program execution.
The watch window shows variables in the default C format for
their type. To display a watch expression in a different format,
type a comma after the expression, followed by a CodeView
format specifier. You can also cast the expression to the format
you want to use.
CodeView always evaluates watch expressions according to the current
radix and reevalutes watch expressions if the radix changes.
For relational expressions, the watch window shows 0 if the
expression is false, and 1 if the expression is true.
