You can specify a starting address with the Program Step command. You can
also specify a step count to cause the debugger to step multiple lines or
instructions in your program.
The debugger updates the screen after each instruction or line is executed.
The highlighted line in the Code window (which indicates the value of the
program counter) is the location of the next line to be executed. If a
breakpoint is encountered, single-stepping is halted.
You can also use function key F7 to single-step.
If the debugger steps into an HP library routine, run until the stack level above
the level of the library routine. Use the Program Run Until command or the
Backtrace window pop-up menu.
To step over functions
• Click on the Step Over action key.
Or:
• Select Execution→Step Over→from PC.
Or:
• Using the command line, enter:
Program Step Over
And press the < Return> key.
The debugger steps through the program one line or one instruction at a time.
However, if the debugger encounters a C function or assembly-level JSR or
CALL instruction, it stops stepping, executes the JSR or CALL instruction,
and then continues stepping when the called subroutine returns.
You can also use function key F8 to step over functions.
