A trace range is a range of addressed for which program instructions only are traced. This option sets the start point, and should be used in conjunction with the Trace End Point option. When you select the Start of Trace Range option, an arrow is placed in the left margin, next to the line of code you have selected.

After you have set a start-range point, the corresponding end-range point, End of Trace Range (Instruction Only), becomes available in the List Selection dialog. No other range-setting options are available until after you select an associated end-range point. When you set an end-range point, an arrow is placed in the left margin next to the line of code you have selected.

If you intend to set start-range and end-range points for tracing program instructions, you can also:

1. Highlight the area within your code you want to trace.

2. Right-click and select Set Trace Range from the Context menu. RealView Debugger inserts start-range and end-range points next to the appropriate lines in your code.

  When setting a trace range, any branches to memory outside the range that you set are not captured. These branches are represented as Trace Pause status lines in the Analysis window. To ensure that trace capture includes any data and memory accesses that might be branched to, you must use the options Trace Start Point and Trace End Point.

If you do not set the end point for the range, the default end point is used, that is, 0xFFFFFFFF.
