Tool/software:
Suppose a function receives a char * myStringPointer which points to "hello world". How can I view the complete text in a watch window?
If I enter *myStringPointer , right click, Number Formal, String, I can see h.
If I right click, Cast To Type, type "char", I will see 104 'h'.
How can I get the full "hello world"?
I can see the test in hex form in the Memory window.
I am using CCS v20.1.1
This feature was planned for CCS 20. I thought it may be already there but it looks like it is not. I'll see if I can get an update.
It is in 20... but only for the Variables view:
It should have been added for the Watch view also. I filed a ticket for this. Tracking link: https://sir.ext.ti.com/jira/browse/EXT_EP-12658
Thanks

Ah! You advice inspired a different solution. In the watch window, right click -> cast to type, char *. This displays the pointer as a string.
Oddly, the variable already is a char *.
Casting the variable as a (char *) with syntax (shown in the screenshot) keeps the address format. The string array representation requires the right click menu.
