The problem with dumps is that you must add code every place you want to see your variables. Granted. That usually doesn't slow me down much though. If you have to guess your way to the reason that can be many recompiles. I guess that depends on the nature of the problem. I haven't found I have to guess where a problem is; actually, I can't imagine ever guessing. I always have a specific section of code that isn't working. At worst I know where the problem is within a given function and in most cases I immediately know within 10 lines. If you have some serious interrupt action going on that can make things more interesting, of course. Also, when adding code is needed (yes, that happens also when using ICEs e.g. only stop when x=y) you always run the risk of an "unintended change". Hehehe, I suppose... but that can happen every time you open a source file. It's hard to protect ourselves from ourselves! Regards, Craig Steiner |
