What is "step over" and "step out"?

Post by Randy Walker »

I've tried to observe the behavior on both "step over" and "step out" but cannot figure them out. Searched the forums and help but searches all come up dry. :?

These are debugger terms:

step into: go into the procedure call where the debugger is right now.
step over: execute the procedure as a whole where the debugger is now and stop afterwards again.
step out: leave the current procedure in which the debugger is now.

Usually there is a button or hotkey for each of them in the debugger GUI.

Daniel

I don't seem to have this debugger option. :shock:

Thanks for the reply DarkDragon. All seem to be proecedure related. I guess that is why I could never get a handle on their behavior. "Step into" is an option I have never seen and still makes no sense. If I just use the step option it seems to go into the procedure anyway if that is the next step.

It's all quite simple...

STEP INTO is not implemented in PureBasic. Some debuggers will not enter and step through procedures, so this forces debugging execution to step into a procedure.

'Step into' is the default step mode in PureBasic (it always enters the procedure by default)
