CCS debugger issue with packed attribute

Kevin Alden
Intellectual 645 points

I am having an issue seeing structure contents in the debugger when I define them with the packed attribute.  This attribute is necessary for my program, and if possible I would like to be able to see the contents using the CCS debugger.

My program is targeting the 6472 DSP.  I am compiling with --relaxed_ansi and using __attribute__((packed)) on my structure definition.  When I try to view the contents of one of my packed structures I see the following error: "Error: cannot load from non-primitive location".

I'm sure this is related to the non standard memory layout that the packed attribute forces, but is there a debugger option or some other work around that will allow me to see my data?  There is always the raw memory view, but that is not quite as usable.

Thanks
