ASM: Asm-ONE or AsmPro - how to set a Hello amiga coders, I hope it is ok to hijack ?

Hello amiga coders,

I have tried to set a breakpoint in my code (left amiga button + b) but it does not work. When I type "ad" the program stops always at the beginning of my program. When I press (left amiga button + r) in debug mode the debuger does not stop at my breakpoint aswell he jumps directly to my rts command.

Best regards

Does your program kill the system (i.e. disables interrupts/DMA)?

Hello StringRay,

first of all I have to apologise my headline is broken. I mean "ASM: Asm-ONE or AsmPro - how to set a breakpoint ?"

My program doesn't kill the system. I would like to set a breakpoint and then go through my program step by step to get some informations about variables i.e. test : dc.w 1,2,3 or registers. I don't want to start every time in line 1.

Best regards

Fb :-)

Late reply, but this is one of the reasons I updated the debugger in AsmTwo.

As Stingray says, if you turn off (too many) interrupts, you will disable the OS that the debugger uses for key presses etc.

After that it's about the handover back to the Assembler window to function properly. On some KS/WB versions you may see a blank screen with the WB colors. In this case, move your mouse (blindly) to the top of the screen and click and drag down. The previous screen appears. This trick may work also with some Asm-One and AsmPro versions.

With AsmTwo, you can always debug your in-game or in-demo code, even with most (but not all) interrupts turned off.
