CCS issues to watch local variables

Hi there:

I have difficulty to watch the value of a local varible using CCS. In the build option, I enable "Full Symbolic Debug". Disable all the opt options. Then I put a breakpoint at the place where I want the program to stop. However, when it stops, the local variables are not shown in the watch locals window. Even I add them in the watch window, it will tell me that my input is invalid and the identifier not found.

I still can get the local variable value in the main function. This only happened when I try to debug inside some function I called during the main.

I am wondering what i should do so that I can track the value of the local variables.

Thank you for any suggestions

Renaissance,

If the 'local variables' are located in the main() function, then they are not
'local' to any sub function. That is why the watch window cannot see them.

However, given the above, you can capture the address in the stack of the main()
local variables and have the watch window display that address, you can then
tell the watch window the appropriate format for the variable (float/int/etc).

Cavet: The main() local variables are not changing when in a sub function.

Hi Richard:

Thank you for your reply.
I think my post may be a little confusing. Here is what I intended to
explain in my previous post.

In the main function, I can watch the variable defined in main function.
In the called function, I can not watch the variable defined in this
function (local to this function only), which are not from the main
function.

Thank you

Hi,
If you are trying to watch local variables of called function; they will be
visible when you halt in that function. Even if you add these local variables
of called function they will show message as identifier not found until you
halt in the function. As you halt in the function at a break point watch window
will show the values of variables.

Hi Ruturaj:

Thank you for your reply.

I use a breakpoint to halt the program inside the function and that is what I am doing to watch the local.

A little update. I use another project, which is much simpler than the this one. I can get the local variable values during debug. This is really strange.

Thank you,

Renaissance

Ren,

Thanks for the clarification.

Please post a copy of the function that is giving you the problems.

Hi Ren,
As local variables are stored on stack; there could be problem of stack size.
It is just a guess, as you said simple project is giving debug values.

I would look at how much stack you are allocating. I think I've seen cases
when I was running close to the total amount of allocated stack being used
that the debugger didn't display stack variables correctly. If you've got
enough ram on your platform, increasing the stack by at least 1024 bytes may
be worth a try.

Ren,

Your original message stated that you could not see the main() function local
variables when in a sub function.

I told you how to get around that problem by using a hard address to locate the
variable.

I never modify the stack size before. Can you give me a hint on how to adjust the size of stack in CCS?

I just found in the Build Options, in the Linker Tab, there is a setting for Stack Size. But how could I know the current stack size, so that I can use a larger setting?

Thank you
