Constructs and runs a Client command. The evaluate argument values are concatenated into a single string and run as a Client command.
Syntax:
evaluate {&var|'string1'|"string2"|&&function} ...
where:
- &var is a previously defined macro variable.
- string1 and string2 are single or double quoted string literals.
- As of Build 69, an invocation of a Debugger Client &&function may also be used.
No blanks are placed between the argument values when they are concatenated, so you may have to add blanks with quoted string values.
Here is a macro definition that makes heavy use of the evaluate command:
# historyButtons.macro: Assign extrabutton<extrBtn>-<extrBtn+3>
# for history traversal
# Usage: macro historyButtons <extrBtn>
extraButtonBar main
set &bnum = &argstring
evaluate 'mapButton extrabutton' &bnum ' previousHistory'
increment &bnum
evaluate 'mapButton extrabutton' &bnum ' nextHistory'
increment &bnum
evaluate 'mapButton extrabutton' &bnum ' firstHistory'
increment &bnum
evaluate 'mapButton extrabutton' &bnum ' lastHistory'
evaluate 'echo buttons ' &argstring '-' &bnum ' set for history'
