Modules Window
Go Up to Debug Windows Index
View > Debug Windows > Modules
Contents
Shows processes that are currently under control of the debugger, and the modules currently loaded by each process. The application must be in debug mode; that is, you must run your application using one of the following commands:
- F9 (Run)
- F7 (Trace Into)
- F8 (Step Over)
Modules Window Panes
The Modules window is divided into the following areas:
| Area | Description |
|---|---|
|
Modules pane (upper left side) |
Displays the processes and modules, in the order in which they are loaded. Each process can have one or more modules that it loads. When a process terminates or a module is unloaded, the module is removed from the list.
To sort the display, click a column heading. The headings are:
|
|
Source pane (lower left side) |
If debug information is available, displays the source files that were used to build the module currently selected in the Modules pane. The Source pane is empty for modules for which no source is available. |
|
Scope Browser (right side, for managed code only) |
Displays a hierarchical tree view of the namespaces, classes, and methods used in the application.
|
|
Entry Point pane (right side, for unmanaged code only) |
Displays the names and addresses of the entry points of the various functions of the module currently selected in the Modules pane. The entry point is only shown if the debugger can find the source for the module. To sort the display, click a column heading. The run-time image base address is the memory offset, in hexadecimal, where the module actually loads, and is distinct from the preferred image base address you might have specified in the Project > Options dialog box (for example, in C++ Linker Output). |

|
Reload Symbol Table |
Displays the Reload Symbol Table dialog box, allowing you to load the debug symbol table into the Modules window. |
|
Add Module |
Displays the Add Module dialog, allowing you to add a module to the list. Use this command to add a module load breakpoint on a module that is not currently loaded. This setting is used by the Embarcadero Win32 Debugger, Embarcadero Win64 Debugger, and Embarcadero OS X Debugger. |
Source Pane Context Menu
Right-click the Source pane to display the following command.
| Item | Description |
