Disassembly window

in CCSv4, whenever I successfully build a project, the Disassembly window pops up. This either takes up screen sp[ace or obscures an importan window.  Not sure why the Disassembly window pops up in the C/C++ perspective since it is useless.  Depite numerous efforts I cannot find how to disable this "feature". 

How do I stop the Disassembly window from popping up after a build?

  • Hi Kurt,

    this is indeed not normal.  What if you go to Window ->Customize Perspective.  Or under window can also reset the perspective.

    Give that a try and keep us informed.

  • I mis-spoke a bit.  The Disassembly window pops up if I had been in the Debug perspective but changed to the C/C++ perspective to edit and rebuild  After it asks if i want to reload then the Disassembly window appears even though I am in the C/C++ perspective.

  • Hi Kurt,

    my appololgies if I misunderstood.  What exact CCS version are you using?  Do you first terminate the debug session?  Could you provide a bit more information for me to try and reproduce this?

    I just did a very simple test in 4.2.5 and did not see this behaviour.  I even manually switched back to the edit perspective.  The disassembly window did not pop up for me.  The only thing I found was it did not seem to automatically go back to the debug perspective for me when I rebuilt and hit the debug button.

  • 4.2.5.00005

    Starting in the Debug perspective.  Changed to the C/C++ perspective.  Changed code and rebuilt.  It then asked if I wanted to reload.  I clicked Yes.  After reloading it stayed on the C/C++ perspective and added the Disassembly window

  • Hi Kurt,

    ok I can reproduce this.

    Let me see if there is a way to prevent it and get back to you as soon as I have any feedback.

  • Hi Kurt,

    it seems there is not really a work around.  It is not recommended to not exit a debug session and therefore there would be no need for manual perspective switching.

    I found that the behaviour did not occur if I exited the debug session (which takes you back to edit anyhow) instead of manually switching.  I also found that doing this is much better since when I change code and rebuild I go properly into the debug perspective again.

    I hope this helps, but all I can recommend is exiting and entering debug in the normal way.  Was there a particular reason you are not?
