SYMPTOMS
========
Microsoft CodeView version 4.0 will not step over an embedded Interrupt 3
instruction. Execution will also stop after pressing F5 for Go, and will not
pass this instruction.
RESOLUTION
==========
You can either step over the Int 3 by changing the value of the IP register, or
use the Assemble command to change the Int 3 instruction.
You can modify the IP register so it points to the instruction immediately after
the Int 3 by modifying the register directly in the register window, or by using
the Rip command.
You can change the Int 3 to a NOP instruction using the Assemble (a) command as
follows
>a XXXX:XXX1
>XXXX:XXX1 nop
>XXXX:XXX2
where XXXX:XXX1 is the address where the Int 3 is located.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in CodeView versions 4.0, 4.01, and
4.05. This problem was corrected in CodeView version 4.1.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Int 3 is a special debugging interrupt. It is often put in code to create a
permanent, or hard breakpoint.
