Debugger
|
Select the debugger you want to use:
- Embarcadero Windows 32-bit Debugger is the default embedded debugger for 32-bit Windows applications.
- Embarcadero Windows 64-bit Debugger is specifically designed for debugging Delphi applications that target 64-bit Windows, which understands Delphi debug information and Delphi syntax when evaluating expressions.
- Embarcadero Windows 64-bit LLDB Debugger for C++ is specifically designed for debugging C++applications that target 64-bit Windows, which understands the C++ debug information format and C++ syntax when evaluating expressions.
- Embarcadero macOS 64-bit Debugger is the debugger for 64-bit Intel macOS applications.
- Embarcadero macOS ARM 64-bit Debugger is the debugger for 64-bit ARM macOS applications.
- Embarcadero Linux 64-bit Debugger is the debugger for 64-bit Intel Linux applications.
- Embarcadero iOS Device 64-bit Debugger is the debugger for 64-bit iOS device applications.
Note: Load Process Environment Block is not supported for the Embarcadero iOS Device Debuggers.
- Embarcadero Android 32-bit Debugger is the debugger for 32-bit Android device applications.
- Embarcadero Android 64-bit Debugger is the debugger for 64-bit Android device applications
Note: Load Process Environment Block is not supported for the Embarcadero Android Debuggers.

Remote Path
|
Specifies the path to the executable of the process that you want to load.
Complete this field according to the debugging solution you are using:
- If you are using the new remote and multi-device debugging solution, enter the path in either of the following ways:
- As an absolute path to the process you want to load
- As a relative path that starts with
./ (dot-slash), which is preloaded in this field.
A ./ (dot-slash) path is relative to the connection profile directory on the machine running the Platform Assistant server (the default location of output files associated with the current connection profile). That is, a Remote Path that starts with ./ (dot-slash) is relative to the username-profilename directory on the target machine. For more information about the directories associated with the Platform Assistant and with connection profiles, see The Scratch Directory.
- If you are using the old-style remote debugging solution, enter the path to the executable file on the remote computer.
- In this case, the Remote Path is relative to the directory that contains the remote debug server (rmtdbg290).

Remote Host
|
Specifies the name or TCP/IP address of the remote computer on which the remote process is running.
Complete this field according to the debugging solution you are using:
- These two steps enable you to use the integrated debugger in the IDE for debugging a remote or multi-device application.
- If you are using the old-style remote debugging solution:
- The remote debug server (such as
rmtdbg290.exe for 32-bit Windows) must be running on the remote computer. There are different sets of remote debug server files for each supported target platform.
- If a port was specified when starting the remote debug server, enter a colon after the host name, followed by the port.
- For example, if you specified port 8000, specify the remote host as
hostname:8000 or 127.0.0.1:8000. Otherwise, the default port 64447 is used.

Parameters
|
Enter the command-line arguments you want to pass to your application (or the host application) when it starts.
|
|
Working Directory
|
Enter the name of the directory to use for the debugging process. By default, this is the same directory as the one containing the executable of your application.
|
|
After load
|
Specifies the code (if any) that is to be executed after loading the process. Choose from the following options:
|
Do not run
|
Equivalent to starting a debug session with Run > Trace Into (F7),
|
Loads the executable but does not run it.
|
|
Run to program entry point
|
Equivalent to starting a debug session with Run > Step Over (F8)
|
For C++ only; runs to the first entry point, such as main().
|
|
Run to first source
|
Equivalent to starting a debug session with Run > Trace to Next Source Line (Shift+F7)
|
Runs to the first source line.
|
|
Run
|
Equivalent to starting a debug session with Run > Run (F9)
|
Runs the process to completion, under the control of the debugger.
|
