1. This works:

   char *myArr = "Hello";
   LOG_printf(&trc, "%s", myArr);

 but this does not:

   char myArr[128] = "Hello";
   LOG_printf(&trc, "%s", myArr);

 Does anybody know the logic behind this???

2. char *myArr;
   myArr = (char *) MEM_alloc(SEG0, 128*sizeof(char), 0);
   ...
   (after some calculations)
   ...
   printf("%s", myArr);  //This works
   LOG_printf(&trc, "%s", myArr); //This is giving an error message 
                                  //in LOG window: "*** ERROR: ..."

  why might printf work but LOG_printf does not, when inputs are same???

Thanks in advance..

Murat.

The LOG subsystem does not actually store your string, only a pointer 
to the format string and the arguments.  The resultant formatted 
string isn't created until you ask CCS to display it.  The reason why 
it doesn't work is because you are passing a pointer to a stack 
location which is not valid outside of the context of the routine 
making the call.  In other words, any subsequent function calls (or 
possibly interrupts, depending on which stack you're using) are 
overwriting your string contents.

The printf function is different, in that it is immediately creating 
the resultant string (tyically with some of it's own local storage) 
and sending that result to the console.
