10.1.3. Methods of forcing scope

Program scope is determined by the PC value. If you want to change the program scope, you can force scope by setting it to an entry on the Call Stack.

Note

Forcing scope does not change the PC.

When you force scope to a location, RealView Debugger:

Places a filled blue arrow at that location.
Issues the CLI command SCOPE, and displays the following message in the Output pane:
```
> scope context
Scoped to: (address): module\function
```
You can also use the CLI command CONTEXT to display the current scope location.

Note

Stepping changes scope to the location that is stepped to.
