Compiler/TMS320F28388D: Global variable not displaying in watch expression

Nagesh,

Hope you are sure the variable still exists ? may be look at the .map file and make sure that the variable is seen.

BTW image you uploaded doesn't show-up.

Nagesh,

Can you pls update on this ?

Hi Karthik, 

What i have observed is if the global variable is just declared and is not initialized it will not be recognized by the compiler may be its discarding from the executable. When i just made the variable to be used in my program it was working fine.

But i did not face this issue when working with F28379D controller .

Can you please let me know how can i achieve it to use by just declaring and not initializing it.

thanks,

Nagesh 

From what I can see, if the variable gets optimized by the compiler, its not going to be displayed that's logical. This is the reason I asked you to check on the .map file.

I still do not understand your use-case on whats that you are intending to achieve by keeping a variable that is not being used ?

Hi Karthik, 

we are developing separate modules which may not be using all of them since this was working fine in F28379D , this will add up our work when integrating everything.

thanks,

Nagesh

Okay, I'll get someone from our compiler team to have a look at this.

In the interim please help with the exact CCS and compiler version that you are using ?

Hi Karthik, 

CCS version 10.1.0.00010

Compiler : TI v20.2.1.LTS

Thanks,

Nagesh

Do you build for the newer EABI by building with the compiler option --abi=eabi?

Thanks and regards,

Hi George, 

Yes, i did verify the newer version has --abi=eabi in my compiler options
