Modifying Source Using Fix and Continue

You can modify source code in the following ways when using fix and continue:

• Add, delete, or change lines of code in functions

• Add or delete functions

• Add or delete global and static variables

Problems can occur when functions are mapped from the old file to the new file. To minimize such problems when editing a source file:

• Do not change the name of a function.

• Do not add, delete, or change the type of arguments to a function.

• Do not add, delete, or change the type of local variables in functions currently active on the stack.

• Do not make changes to the declaration of a template or to template instances. Only the body of a C++ template function definition can be modified.

If you make any of the above changes, rebuild your entire program rather than using fix and continue.
