<P>VICE is an emulator for many of the CBM machines. It runs on Unix, DOS and
|
|
Windows 95. It emulates the Commodore 64, 128, VIC20, PET and the 600/700
|
|
machines. For more information see the VICE home page:</P>

<P>VICE has a builtin machine language monitor that may be used for debugging
|
|
your programs. Using an emulator for debugging has some advantages:</P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>Since you're using a crossassembler/-compiler anyway, you don't need to
|
|
transfer the program to the real machine until it is done.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>An emulator allows many things that are almost impossible one of the
|
|
original machines. You may set watchpoints (detect read or write access to
|
|
arbitary addresses), debug interrupt handlers and even debug routines that run
|
|
inside the 1541 floppy.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>You may use the label file generated by the linker to make much more use
|
|
from the monitor.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Please note that you need at least VICE version 0.16 for the label file
|
|
feature to work. This version has still some problems (see
|
|
<A HREF="debugging-5.html#problems">Problems and workarounds</A>), but older versions had even more problems
|
|
and do <EM>not</EM> work correctly.</P>
