Current status: beta
Last stable version: 1.15
Overview
The debug tools module provides a whole pile of very useful debugging facilities – both SWIs and *commands.
It has a full functional specification which gives more detail on all of the features, but here are just a few:
- Enhanced Where command
- List claimants of vectors, tickers and IRQ devices
- Forcibly kill/remove broken modules
- Command line EvalHex and EvalBin commands
- Replace or change behaviour of OS SWIs
“Bonus binaries”
This is one of a group of applications and modules distributed as Bonus Binaries – software considered unsuitable for inclusion in the standard HardDisc4 image. They are primarily of interest to developers, and are made available on the “half a loaf” principle: the pressing need for software that performs these tasks outweighs the inconvenience of the unfinished and/or anachronistic behaviour of the software itself.
Installation Instructions
Just double-click the module to run it. Putting it into your PreDesk directory will mean it is always present so that you can access its features when you most need them.
Known Issues issues
The IRQInfo command is not compatable with the RISC OS 5 HAL at present so will not work on an IYONIX. Some of the other features probably won’t work correctly on RISC OS 4 or 6.
- Some of the features probably won’t work correctly on RISC OS 4 or 6.
