I noticed that IDE's built-in TCC has _TRANSIENT == 1. I doubt it will bother me but some might be surprised by unexpected results. If it must be so for correct functioning, it should probably be documented.
Another debugger observation
- Thread starter vefatica
- Start date
It always has, since the very first debugger version many years ago. As
does any batch file that's not run directly from the TCC prompt.
(And it's *not* a built-in TCC, as it only includes the scripting capability
and not the command line interface.)

Funny that you mentioned that. I have been meaning to suggest (for a future
version) that it would be convenient to have a combo-box where you could enter
commands (while not debugging) to be executed by IDE's interpreter to, for
example, stop a running TIMER or close a file (either of which might be left by
an aborted debug session).

Never mind. That's easy enough with @EXEC.
Hmmm! I evaluated %@EXEC{timer on] and a few seconds later, %@EXEC[timer off].
In the console I saw
That looks fishy.
If I keep evaluating %@EXEC[timer] over and over I see

In the console I saw

Code:
Timer 1 on: 22:26:35
Timer 1 on: 22:26:44
Timer 1 on: 22:26:47
Timer 1 on: 22:26:48Yeah, but it's not perfect (see my other post).
I wouldn't mind that Alt-F11 thing in a combo box (with memory) on the toolbar.

|WAD. You're not running a persistent interpreter in the evaluate expression
|dialog. (Nor do I see any useful purpose in that.)
The whole idea originally came from wanting to stop a TIMER that was left
running when I aborted a debug run (because it was still on when I started
debugging again). Can that be done? What if I abort a debug run after
@FILEOPEN and without @FILECLOSE? Can I use Alt-F11 to evaluate @FILECLOSE and
close the handle? If not, is there any way to close it?

It would benefit from some history recall then (ITNV of course).
