Source code view

This window shows the contents of a source code file. IDA automatically opens source views provided that proper mapping of the source code paths is specified in "Options, Source paths".

This window may also display a decompilation result because it is considered as a source code. This can be useful if the source files are not available.

Watch view (source level)

In this window the user can view values of selected variables.

Global variables (data item names) as well as variables that are local to the current function can be added by pressing Ins.

Expressions can be added to the view as well, they will be considered as IDC expressions.

Expressions may have a type cast at the beginning. For example

(int)0x12345678

means that the contents of the memory at the address 0x12345678 should be displayed as an integer. Note: to display strings use "char[]" as the typo.

Locals view (source level)

This window displays the values of the variables that are local to the current functions (register and stack based).
