Figure 12. The Images Window

Choose Images from the Code menu to open the Images window.  It displays a
list of executable images associated with the program that you are currently
debugging.  Executable images include the program executable, DLLs (Windows,
OS/2 and Windows NT), and NLMs (NetWare).  This window displays the name of
the executable image, the name of the symbolic debugging information file
(if available), and the debugging information type.

Different debugging information types are generated by different compilers.

Valid information types are:

WATCOM
    This information is generated by the WATCOM compilers.

DWARF
    This information is optionally generated by the WATCOM compilers.

CodeView
    Several other compilers, including Microsoft, generate CodeView style
    information.

EXPORTS
    This information is contained in the executable file itself, and is used
    by the operating system.  Under OS/2, Windows and Windows NT, DLLs have
    export tables which define the names and addresses of entry points.
     Exports information lets you see the names of system entry points and
    APIs.  Novell NLMs also have entry point tables.  In addition, they may
    have Novell style debugging information, created with Novell's linker
    (NLMLINK) or using the WATCOM Linker's "debug novell" option.  This
    information is made available to the debugger.

You can add new debugging information to an image by double-clicking on the
image name or cursoring to it and pressing ENTER.

Press the right mouse button to access the following pop-up menu items:


New Symbols
    Add symbolic debugging information for the selected image.  This is
    useful if you know that a separate debug information file contains the
    appropriate debugging information that was not found by the debugger.

Delete Symbols
    Delete any symbolic debugging information associated with the selected
    image.

Modules
    Show a list of modules contained in the selected image.

Functions
    Show a list of functions contained in the selected image.

Globals
    Show a list of all global variables contained in the selected image.
