Debug a Program

To configure a new debugging session, select Debug a Program to launch the Program Session dialog.

1.  Enter a session name in the Session Name text box.

Note that any previously entered sessions of the same type are available from the Session Name dropdown box. See Editing a Previous Session.

2.  Enter the name of your program in the File Name box or press Browse to browse to and select the file. You can enter a full or relative path name. If you have previously entered programs here, they will appear in a dropdown list.

If you enter a file name and the UI cannot find it, it displays the path in red; however, TotalView searches for it in the list of directories listed in your PATH environment variable.

dset EXECUTABLE_PATH

3.  (Optional) Add any custom configurations or options:

Program arguments: Enter any program arguments into the Arguments field.

Because you are loading the program from within TotalView, you need to enter the command-line arguments that the program requires.
