Talk:FPU

========

Feedback from Chris H in email:

1) I would change this sentence: The pane displays the memory addresses, the current values in memory, and an ASCII representation of the values in memory. to The pane displays the memory addresses, the current values in memory, and optionally a character representation of the values in memory (depending on the current Display mode).

2) I would change this sentence: The Memory Dump pane is located on the lower left side of the window when all the CPU Windows panes are displayed to The Memory Dump pane is located on the lower left side of the window when the Entire CPU (View | Debug Windows | CPU Windows | Entire CPU) is displayed.

3) The sentence: You can have more than one view and then use Search > Goto Address in the separate views to look at different places in memory at the same time. should be: You can open more than one view and then use Goto Address from the context menu in the separate views to look at different places in memory at the same time.

4)The sentences: The leftmost part of each line shows the starting address of the line. Following the address listing is an 8-byte hexadecimal listing of the values contained at that location in memory. Each byte in memory is represented by two hexadecimal digits. Following the hexadecimal display is an ASCII display of the memory. Non-printable values are represented with a period.

should be:

The leftmost part of each line shows the starting address of the line. Following the address listing is a representation of the values contained at that location in memory. The format of this representation is controlled by the "Display as" context menu. <Get rid of the second sentence>

5) Goto address: The dialog displayed is the "Enter Address to Position to" (the 2nd "to" is missing)

6) Change: I would change "modify the bytes" to "modify the memory"

7) Previous: "before you issued the last Follow command" should be "before you issued the last Follow or Goto Address command"

8) Display As > Bytes: closing parenthesis is missing

9) Display As > Multibyte: hexadecimal bytes with the character representation showing multi-byte ANSI characters using the current locale

10) Display As > UTF8: hexadecimal bytes with the character representation showing Unicode characters inferred from UTF8-encoded data

11) Display As > Unicode: hexadecimal words with the character representation showing Unicode characters

12) Copy: should say "Copies the selected data to the clipboard"

13) "Stay on top" and "Dockable" are only available in the standalone Memory views (not when the pane is shown as part of the Entire CPU)

14) "Follow > Near code" and "View FPU" are only available when the Memory pane is shown as part of the Entire CPU (not when the view is opened standalone)

15) View FPU: I would get rid of everything but the first sentence "Displays the FPU window, which enables you to view the contents of the FPU component of the CPU"

Response

Changes were made for the Weaver release (Delphi and C++Builder 2010).
