Run menu
The Run menu contains commands for compiling and running programs. To select
the run menu, click Run on the main menu bar or press Alt+r on your keyboard.
A menu with the following commands will appear:
Start | .rs | start running program |
Continue | .rc | continue running program |
Pause | .rp | pause program execution |
Kill | .rc | kill program execution |
Recompile | .rr | recompile program |
Assembly | .ra | create assembly file |
Library | .rl | create library file |
RunStart
Run Start begins program execution. If necessary, the program is
recompiled first.
RunContinue
Run Continue resumes execution of the program, assuming it is ready to
continue. Programs pause when they hit a breakpoint or have been explicitly paused
by a RunPause command.
RunPause
Run Pause suspends program execution. While your program is paused,
you can display variables, function call frames, and other information about the current
state of execution.
RunKill
Run Kill terminates program execution. Variables, function call frames, and
other status information is no longer available.
RunRecompile
Run Recompile compiles your program, but does not run it. You can use
this command to check for syntax errors before your program is ready to run. If no
errors are detected during compilation, you can also display the assembly language for the
program with Debug Assembly.
RunAssembly
Run Assembly compiles your program into assembly language, and saves it on
disk with a .s suffix. This file can subsequently be assembled and linked to create
an application. The "advanced topics" documentation contains more
information about creating .DLL and .EXE executables from XBasic programs.
RunLibrary
Run Library compiles your program into assembly language, and saves it on
disk with a .s suffix. This file can subsequently be assembled and linked to create
a library. The "advanced topics" documentation contains more information
about creating .DLL and .EXE executables from XBasic programs.
