- Subject: Debugging keys
-
-
- Argh! I've just been told about CNTRL-ALT-SHIFT F5 and I had no idea
- there were shifted function keys for debugging. My ATARI Compedium
- mentions keys for F9 and F10 and these don't seem to work at all.
- MiNT.DOC doesn't mention it, and I don't see anything in the changes.
- Can anyone send a list of the current debugging F-Keys? I like MiNTs
- built-in debugger although if the changes are never documented then it
- seems difficult to use it fully.
-
- Also, the ATARI Compendium says that the standard debugging level doesn't
- output processor exceptions, just fatal OS errors. Am I right in thinking
- that this is wrong? Or is MultiTOS different from MiNT in this manner?
- I always get BUS ERRORS and ADDRESS ERRORs to the standard debug device
- and I don't consider these fatal OS errors. Bad pointer arithmetic in
- the running program sure, but that's all. MiNT keeps on tickin'
-
- I'll use SHIFT-ALT-CNTRL-F5 to be check TOSWIN again. I'm pretty sure its
- not allocated from filesystems as it seems to only happen in TOSWIN. File
- systems are global and so the memory would be allocated and used with other
- programs too.
