# set\_reg\_value

```
set register value
     name - the register name
     value - new register value
the debugger should be running
It is not necessary to use this function to set register values.
A register name in the left side of an assignment will do too.
Thread-safe function (may be called only from the main thread and debthread)

success set_reg_value(number value, string name);
```
