Hi;
1-In my program I have a function inside which I only using malloc() and an assert() functions.
this function is called many times in the program and as I traced every time it allocates
memory then the v-free() function will free memory. but in one case the function could not get
memory and assert function aborts the program as I see this function gets only 10 words and all
of the .sysmem memory is free. Could you tell me why and help  me to trace it?

2- why in CCS the amount of variables are updated one or more steps after running their
instruction line when I trace the code? is there any way to solve this like as is in visual
C/C++ studio?

regards

One suggestion is to follow malloc into its source code and see why it fails.  You
can get the C source for malloc from the matching .src file (search your CCS install
folder for *.src files).  Once you know the C source you get some idea of what the
asm instructions are doing when you single-step into malloc.

I think the answer to #2 is pipeline... it takes a few cycles for operations to
actually take place ane memory / register results to appear.
