Chapter 11: Emulator Commands
DISPLAY MEMORY
The memory contents can be displayed in mnemonic, hexadecimal, or real number
format. In addition, the memory addresses can be listed offset by a value, which
allows the information to be easily compared to the program listing.
When displaying memory mnemonic and stepping, the next instruction that will
step is highlighted. The memory mnemonic display autopages to the new address if
the next PC goes outside the currently displayed address range. This feature works
even if stepping is performed in a different emulation window from the one
displaying memory mnemonic (see the discussion on windowing capabilities in
Chapter 3, "Using the Emulator/Analyzer Interface").
Pending execution breakpoints in software are shown in the memory mnemonic
display by an asterisk (*) in the leftmost column of the assembly instruction or
source line that has a pending breakpoint.
A label column (symbols) may be displayed for all memory displays except
blocked mode. Memory mnemonic may be displayed with source and assembly
code intermixed, or with source code only. Symbols also can be displayed in the
memory mnemonic string. (See the set command.)
Initial values are the same as specified by the command:
display memory 0 blocked bytes offset_by 0
Defaults are values specified in a previous display memory command.
The symbols and source defaults are:
set source off symbols off
absolute
Formats the memory listing in a single column.
at_pc
Displays the memory at the address pointed to by the current program counter
value. If you are running a program when you enter this command, the memory
will be displayed at the address pointed to by the program counter at the moment
you enter the command.
blocked
Formats the memory listing in multiple columns.
bytes
Displays the absolute or blocked memory listing as byte values.
—EXPR—
An expression is a combination of numeric values, symbols, operators, and
parentheses, specifying a memory address or memory offset value. See the EXPR
syntax diagram.
