CodeWarrior debugger. Alternatively, click Browse to open a dialog box. Use the dialog box to select the external debugger.

In this field enter command-line arguments to pass to the external debugger at the beginning of a debugging session.
Attempt to show the dynamic runtime type of objects
Select this option to display runtime types for C++, Object Pascal, and SOM objects. Clear the option to display static types.
Auto Indent
Select this option to apply automatically the same indentation as the previous line for each new line of text created by pressing Enter or Return. Clear the option to always return to the left margin for each new line of text.
Auto Target Libraries
Select this option to have the IDE attempt to debug dynamically linked libraries (DLLs) loaded by the target application. The IDE debugs the DLLs that have symbolics information.
This option applies to non-project debugging sessions, such as debugging an attached process.

Selecting this option may slow IDE performance. Clear the option to improve speed.
Automatic Invocation
