The Registers view lists information about the registers in a selected stack frame. Values that have changed are highlighted in the Registers view when your program stops.
You can use the Registers view to:
- add, edit, or remove groups of registers
- view register details, such as explanations of a register's bit fields and values
- change register values
- import/export register data
You can also change the number system in which the debugger displays register values. These number systems are supported:
- Default
- Decimal
- Hexadecimal
- Octal
- Binary
- Fractional
The Registers view also allows you to cast existing data type to complex data types that may or may not exist in the debugged executable. For more information on casting a data type, see Cast to Type.
Note: Casting a register to a type requires that the size of the register must match the size of the type, otherwise the cast will fail. Therefore, if the type is a complex one (for example, structure, union), it should be declared first to avoid padding done by compilers.
