CCS/MSP432E401Y: Memory Debugging

Hi,

I am wondering how I can see how much of the stack/heap I am using? I am having problem using malloc() so I would like to debug by looking at my memory usage. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Ryan,
You can see the stack by looking at the memory allocation (View->Memory Allocation). There is also a stack usage view.

Stack usage view doesn't load, it stays in the progress bar view forever.
And is there any way to get a more detailed view than just Memory Allocation? All it says is the stack is 1024 bytes, and the .bss:ucHeap is 131k, and I'm not really sure what to do with that information. Basically I am trying to solve an issue that is giving me an ISR when a malloc() is called within the http library after my program has run for a while, and to do so I want to get a detailed view of the stack, heap, and see how it grows during runtime.

Ryan,
There is a Runtime Object View but is associated with TIRTOS. processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Runtime_Object_View_(ROV)
