As the title suggests, i wonder if there is any AVR simulator who can run all the program by once. AVR studio only does it step by step, and it is taking me more to time to check the efficiency of a program rather than write it! Thanks in advance!
Here you have small tutorial on using simulator: http://youtu.be/zGKaJy-3JgI?t=1m22s
You can choose "Start debugging" or press F5 to run code.
Just hit F5 if you haven't set any breakpoints then the application should run without any stops but in this mode you can not see any variables and processor' state.

A couple of GoLand versions ago, the GoLand debugger stopped stepping into functions properly.
It works partially but with annoying caveats.
The debugger is stopping on breakpoints and step-over is working fine, but when I step into a function:
the debugger jumps to the definition of the function (as it should)
then when I press either step into/over, debugger just behaves as if I presses the continue button (F9) button and stops debugging.
I tried specifying a custom delve installation and it did not help. This happens on all types for code from hello world to unit test to gRPC service. Using GUI keys instead of keyboard shortcuts made no difference.
Anyone have an idea?
EDIT:
GoLand version 2022.3.2, Go 1.17/1.18 running on MacOS 13.2.
I wrote some test code in PIC assembly language that I have no intention to run on the actual PIC MCU, rather it is meant to generate the trace files so that they can be analyzed later with a separate tool. So, I needed a way to permanently halt the simulator in specific code points without manually setting the breakpoints there. This way I could terminate trace collection from code.
Back in the MPLAB 8.92 I used this simple trick to accomplish that: "call $" command. This instruction simply calls itself, quickly overflowing the stack and in MPLAB 8.92 this was halting the simulator with CORE-E0001 message. Mission accomplished!
However, when I migrated to MPLAB X 5.25, I have discovered that the simulator does not halt anymore using this trick. It does not halt even if I go to the project settings and specify that simulator should break on all types of warning messages.
So, what am I doing wrong? What it the best working way to halt the simulator with an MCU code in MPLAB X? Please do not suggest using an explicit breakpoint, this is just not practicable, I would literally need to set hundreds of breakpoints in tens of projects.
In MPLAB go to Project Properties. In Categories tree: select Simulator the Options for Simulator are now visible. Under Options categories select Warning Messages Break Options and press on Unlock button.
Let say that you wont that your simulations stops on Watchdog Timer reset event. Find on list W0004-CORE: Watchdog Timer has caused a Reset. and change Report option to Break.
Press Apply button.
Now the program simulation will stops on every Watchdog Timer reset event.
PS: I'm using MPLAB v5.35. For break at stack overflow use option W0012-CORE: Device Resets on stack overflow.
Recently my Visual Studio started to experience a delay before the program Starts Without Debugging.
This happens only when the following are met:
Console application
Start Without Debugging
There has been any change in the editor window from the last time program run.
After pressing Ctrl+F5 console application window opens and the cursor is active, but the execution is delayed.
The delay seems to be consistent in length (7-10 seconds), and not depend on the size of the code. I have checked two different installations of VS (2013 and 2015) on the same computer and the problem persists.
I have also checked that this delay occurs even for an empty Main().
There is a possibility that I have enabled some kind of an option/function in VS that causes this very specific delay, but I am not sure when this issue started occurring so I cannot trace back the change.
What could be the reason for this delay?
I will be grateful for help in this matter.
I made many attempts to diagnose the issue of the delay and one of the times that I pressed ctrl + F5 I have spotted a window opening in the background.
(It was definitely not visible everytime i tried to run without debugging).
It turns out that a functionality of Avira anti-virus had been scanning the code before it run for the first time. That is why when I made no changes to the code there was no delay.
Avira "Protection Cloud" is the name of the functionality responsible for the delays.

Sometimes if I have multiple editting windows open, this slows starting and stopping the debugger. Close all but those you are interested in and try again.
I've associated my Windows 8 App with a file type. However when I open that file my app starts to open and then crashes.
I can't figure out a way to do this while the debugger is attached.
I assume there is something wrong with my OnFileActiavted method so I've resorted to changing random bits of code in that method. This isn't working, so I'm wondering how I should debug this problem.
Does this work? You can debug without launching the app immediately. You can also debug other people's apps.
Another approach:
Debugger.Launch();
When your app starts and execution reaches this line, your app will be stopped and VS will ask if you want to attach a debugger.
Sometimes, I have the situation that Windows waits at boot time for the kernel debugger to be attached. You see the text "Windows starting" but not the logo yet.
If I attach the debugger now, Windows 7's logo animation is played. Aftwards the logo starts to pulse. At this stage the boot process does not advance anymore. CPU usage drops to a minimum.
I wait usually several minutes, but nothing happens.
This does not happen all the time. However, if it happens, a VM reset won't help. I need to use startup repair to fix this problem. Unfortunately, it takes forever.
Any ideas what I can do except running startup repair ?
Thanks in advance !
To fix the problem you encountered, you just need to press F10 during boot up. And remove /debug and related parameters. Then press enter.
Suggestion:
Do not use /debug parameter for your default boot menu option. Copy your boot configuration to a new entry. Then set it to debug mode.
Windows don't know when you will use the debugger. So it has to wait.
Thanks.
I could solve the issue by leaving the mouse) inside the VM during bootup... Don't know why, but it solves the problem for me.
I'm debugging Win Embedded POSReady 7 SP1 x86 within VMware Workstation v9.0.2 on a Win7 Enterprise x64 host.
