<h2>About the Carbide.c++ Debugger</h2>
<p> A debugger controls program execution and shows the internal operation of a computer program. Use the debugger to find problems while the program executes. Also use the debugger to observe how a program uses memory to complete tasks.</p>
<p>The Carbide.c++ debugger provides these levels of control over a computer program:</p>
<ul>
<li>Execution of one statement at a time</li>
<li>Suspend execution after reaching a specific point in the program</li>
<li>Suspend execution after changing a specified memory value</li>
<li>Suspend any running thread from the stack crawl in the Debug view</li>
</ul>
<p>After the debugger suspends program execution, use the <a href="../reference/perspective_debug.htm">Debug</a> perspective to perform these tasks:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="../reference/view_debug.htm">View</a> the function-call chain</li>
<li><a href="../reference/view_variables.htm">Manipulate</a> variable values</li>
<li><a href="../reference/view_registers.htm">View</a> register values in the computer processor</li>
</ul>
