Read float variable using DSS

Hi 

All the readData APIs in debug sever scripting returns either long or long[]. My question is how do I read a float variable? Is there any specific API to read a float variable?

Regards,

Bhavin

    Unfortuantely, it is currently not supported.

    There is no specific API to read a float variable but it is possible to read a float (or any data type) using some java.

    Edit your main module to have a void* pointed to the float.

    float a;
void* ptr = &a;

    Now in DSS, find the address ptr is pointed to and readData from that address. Finally, convert int bits to a float.

    var address = debugSession.expression.evaluate("ptr");
var result = debugSession.memory.readData(0, address, 32);
result = Float.intBitsToFloat(result);
