Before You Begin

Before you start using the Intel(R) System Debugger, do the following:

  1. Ensure that the binaries you want to debug are compiled with debug information and without optimization. Otherwise, compiler optimization might affect debug experience.

    The debugger will check optimization for PE/COFF binaries and will warn you if the debug experience is affected.

    See Recommended Compiler Flags.

  2. Check supported platforms and probes for the present release.

  3. Complete the startup procedure: configure and connect the target.

    Warning:

    Before establishing a target connection, ensure that the Breakpoints view does not contain any breakpoint instances. Otherwise, it might cause the target halt when the connection is created.
