Hi,
I’m having problems with the task queue in Coder Composer. I am using Code Composer Studio v5 running on a Windows 7 PC.
During the building of a software library I sometimes wish to either stop the build (so I can correct some build errors) or save the source files after editing a file without stopping the build first. As expected the save request appears to be added to the queue as a new job.
Frequently however when the cancel/stop build button is pressed the tool ends up in the following state:
1) The build progress window/task is still present and appears active but isn’t actually progressing (progress bar stays stuck on, say 49%, indefinitely).
2) The cancel/stop build button is greyed out.
3) Appears to be sat there trying to cancel the build first, and so the save job sits there unattended.
Therefore I can’t save the file changes because the tool is busy performing another task which never completes. The only way I can get round this is to stop running Code Composer via Task manager and thus lose my software changes. Incidentally, the save task itself can be cancelled, but that doesn’t help.
Surely it’s not unreasonable to expect the tool to be able to reliably cope with requests to save/stop whilst doing a build?
Does anybody have any suggestions how to work around this please?
Thanks
