Chapter 3: Loading and Executing Programs
Loading Programs and Symbols
To turn demand loading of symbols on or off
• Select Settings→Debugger Options and set the Demand Loading option.
With demand loading, some symbol information is loaded on an as-needed,
demand basis rather than during the initial load of the .x file. Demand loading
lets you load and debug programs that otherwise would not be loadable
because of very large amounts of symbol information.
Symbol information for global symbols, local symbols in the source module
containing main, and local symbols in assembly modules are loaded during the
initial load of the .x file. Local symbols in C source modules other than that
module which contains main are loaded either when the user explicitly
references the module or when the program is stopped with the program
counter in the module.
You can also use the -d option when starting the debugger to specify demand
loading. The -doff option turns off demand loading. This option wil override
the option in the startup file.
