Ending a Debugging Session

To end a debugging session, enter the QUIT command at the command-line prompt or select Exit from the File menu in the Windows interface.

Using either method causes normal termination of the debugger and the termination of your program. Once the debugging session has been terminated, the system prompt will be displayed.

Keyboard interrupts while the debugger is accepting commands are ignored, but a keyboard quit (for example, <Ctrl \>) will terminate the debugging session.

Programs that terminate normally while running under the control of the Codewatch GUI will complete the debug session and close the debugger.

Programs that terminate normally while running under the control of the command-line CodeWatch will automatically be re-initialized with any explicitly set breakpoints, watchpoints, and tracepoints (and any associated action-lists) preserved, so that execution may start from the beginning if desired. However, breakpoints that may have been set in shared libraries will not reset if the library is not loaded at program setup. The exit status with which the program exited is given. Refer to your UNIX documentation (exit (2)) for more information.
