A software debugger tangibly embodied on a computer readable medium may
display a microcomputer program being debugged so that a halt address at
which the execution of the program is caused to halt can be distinguished
from other addresses. When performing step-by-step execution of the
program, a determination is made whether an instruction at the halt
address is a predicate execution instruction or not. If the instruction
is a predicate execution instruction, a condition flag value for the
instruction is acquired. Based on the condition flag value, a
determination is made whether the predicate execution instruction is to
be executed or not. Then, the instruction at the halt address is
displayed on a screen by changing a display method according to the
result of the determination.
