Controlling Execution3.6 Searching for source filesBy default RealView Debugger searches for application source file paths according toinformation contained in the image. If no paths are provided in the image, RealViewDebugger uses the list of directories specified in the project settings. If this fails, orwhere no search path has been specified, RealView Debugger looks in the currentworking directory for the source file or files.If you have loaded an image to a target, or where you have opened a user-definedproject, you can specify search paths using the Project Properties window. Any searchthat you define is then saved with the project settings and additionally used to locatesource files.This section includes:• Example of locating source files• Autoconfiguring search rules on page 3-20• Manually configuring search rules on page 3-21• Source path mappings on page 3-22.3.6.1 Example of locating source filesIn the following example, the image has been built in one directory and then moved toanother location for debugging. This means that RealView Debugger cannot locatesource files directly from information contained in the image:1. Ensure that the Project Properties window is not open. When searching for sourcefiles, RealView Debugger updates the project properties as necessary. This fails ifthe window is already open.2. Close any files that are open in the File Editor so that they are not found, andincluded, in the search mechanism.3. Connect to your target and load an image, for example dhry_thr_demo.axf.RealView Debugger creates an in-memory auto-project to use for this session,that is dhry_thr_demo.axf.apr.4. RealView Debugger cannot locate a source file and so displays the source searchprompt, shown in Figure 3-4 on page 3-20.ARM DUI 0153G Copyright © 2002-2005 ARM Limited. All rights reserved. 3-19
