- Terminate
- Terminate the erronous process.
This is a soft terminate, in that the process gets
a chance to perform its cleanup actions
(see ``stack unwinding and signal handling'').
If the process is controlling a view (i.e. a windowGroup process),
all of its windows are closed.
This function is disabled in a modal debugger
(because this would terminate the event dispatcher or scheduler).
- Continue
- Continue execution
The process continues execution where it was stopped originally.
- Abort
- Abort the current activity (if possible)
This function simply raises the AbortSignal,
which is cought by most processes at some save place.
For example, workspaces catch this signal while
executing a 'doIt' expression;
the fileBrowser while filing in code,
and the event dispatcher when processing an event.
Pressing 'Abort' will break out and return to this save place.
(thus abort a doIt-evaluation or the processing of the current
event).
Typically, this is equivalent to a resume of the corresponding handler contexts sender.
- Next
- Single step for next sourceline
Let the process continue execution, until the current
source line changes in the selected context.
Due to the implementation, single stepping may be
a bit slow, if many computations are done in called methods.
This function is not available for inspecting debuggers.
- Step
- Single step for send in this method
Let the process continue execution, until the next message send
is performed in the selected context.
Due to the implementation, single stepping may be
a bit slow, if many computations are done in called
methods.
This function is not available for inspecting debuggers.
- Send
- Single send
Let the process continue execution for one message
send - showing every message send.
This function is not available for inspecting debuggers.
- Return
- Return from this method
continue execution as if the selected context
returned - effectively "jumping out" and returning
from this context (i.e. simulate a '^ nil' from the
selected context).
If there is a selection in the codeview, which
forms a valid expression, that value is used as return value.
Otherwise the method returns nil to its sender.
In the current ST/X implementation, this function cannot be
performed on block contexts or on contexts of methods
which have been compiled with certain compiler-optimizations enabled.
The Return-Button is deisabled if such a context is selected.
- Restart
- Restart this method
continue execution by restarting the selected context.
In the current ST/X implementation, this function cannot be
performed on block contexts or on contexts of methods
which have been compiled with certain compiler-optimizations enabled.
The Restart-Button is deisabled if such a context is selected.
